I left for a little while this afternoon, and when I got back, Miss Preggers is deep in a sand cave! I can hear her in there still digging.

So, I plugged in the hovabater, got a glad food storage container, and filled it about 3/4 with verm., poured in water until it was all submerged, and then poured out the water and squeezed it with a big spoon. Is that right???

I'm so nervous!

I'm EGGSTATIC for you

mine laid yesterday but the eggs were infertile maybe next year.

She dug a tunnel the length of the sand pile, then got out to bask and HUFF! LOL! I think there wasn't enough sand for her liking, so I added damp sand and gave her a big drink. We are obviously close, but I don't know if she is just preparing or is ready.

I HATE this! One of my 2 year old beardie fems just took me on an egg laying roller coaster. She laid 4 eggs, then seemed perfectly normal for two weeks. Then she started digging again, and she dug for 3 days before finally laying 30 eggs! Thank goodness they were infertile and soft! LOL!

I waited up for her until 1am last night, because her digging seemed urgent. So at 12:30, I turned off the Megaray, and put a red 50 watt bulb over her and the sand pile and lowered a digital therm probe down to the sand. It read upper 70s-80 thirty minutes after lights out.

This morning, she looked exhausted and noticeably thinner, and was in the process of covering. The therm read 80. But now she has dug another hole! Is it common for them to lay in more than one place? The sand box temp is now in the upper 80s, so I am guessing that the eggs that she has already laid will be fine until she has finished?

On another note, Fancy Dancer and BF Tayo are doing the dance! YAY!

Well, she ate several crix, so I assume she is finished?

Miss P last night just before I gave up and went to bed

EGGS!

She looks GOOD, too! Do you think she still has more to lay??

Big congratulations! Sounds like you're on a roll and your lizards all look so healthy! BTW, that Eve is really a ham about eggs...but that's OK, ham and eggs go together. Yuck yuck!

I guess I am officially a ham with eggs now, too!

Maureen, you are so funny! Lemme know of you change your mind and get a hankering for a little Tayo!

GOOD ONE, Yes, I was just YOKE-ING ahahhahahaha LMAO

Congratulations Donna!

Ouch! You guys are tickling my funny bone until it hurts! And Donna, I think Tayo is the cutest proud daddy in the world! I would LOVE to have one of him to grace my lizard room, but I am absolutely bursting at the seams and some of the gals are going to be looking for their own tanks soon. I am worried about toes being nipped in the stampede to the veggies. Nothing lady like about these scaley fair maidens! LOL

LoL! I SO hear ya! I have two critter rooms, but they are "out there" and unheated, so I have almost everybody inside the main part of the house until winter is over! We are supposed to dip into the 30s AGAIN!

Mom and Tayo are actually out in one of the rooms, but it stays 20 degrees warmer than the other. I just run heat emitters and red night bulbs on cold nights.

Well, if you change your mind . . .

My crew is all outside today! We're in the 70's, but because they are protected from the wind, they're a few degrees warmer than the ambient temps. Yeh, I hear you about the bugs. I worked in a place called The East Bay Vivarium, and at night the chirping crickets were pretty amazing...in a good way. However, the fact that they could smell pretty bad, were not shy about eating each other, and escaped from the cricket bin when I attempted to catch them...the price one must pay for "lizard lust"!

LOL, with a few thousands crickets chirping all night my husband says he feels like we are camping out. hehehehehe
Especially when sitting on the toilet late at night and a cricket walks past and gives ya a greeting, LMAO ROFL

Poor guy tells people he never knows what he will see walking in our house, hahahaha. Funny!

Hahahahahahaha.

Too much information! Seriously.

LOL

Hey John, well your supposed to be focusing on the CRICKETS chirping, hahahaha, it is funny what we all go through with these reptiles. Most people spend a ton of money for an exterminator to KILL terrible filthy roaches.....

WE IMPORT GIGANTIC ONES from another country and pay a fortune to create colonies of them, OH MY GOSH... it's NUTS....
