sick or weak??

gecko_chick Dec 18, 2003 03:27 AM

Ok I noticed my female who recently laid eggs was kinda sluggish. Her eyes seemed to be almost half shut. I gave her lots of water and lots of food...I mean she eats fine and her feces look normal just like they should. I am not really thinking she it sick. Shes seems to be more active now. I think shes gravid again...=/ I don't know if that such a good thing..SHe layed eggs like a little over a week ago. It was her first time breeding. WHat do you guys think? I think she is feeling much better...Hmmm

Thanks, Danielle

As long as she is eating, she is probably fine. You have to look at it this way too, she just laid eggs. I might be a tad tired for a day or two after that too. My first year breeding, I noticed my one female was a tad cranky for a day or two after laying.

you will find that she will lay eggs every 14-21 days for several clutches. It's normal, don't worry and make sure she gets lots of calcium and food.
