HELP!!! My veiled is laying her eggs at the bottom of her cage!

riccio Mar 31, 2004 08:03 PM

The topic says it all. Should I proceed as I would if she had layed them in the dirt and put them in a container of vermiculite? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

If she has started laying, I would'nt bother her. I have had females lay on the surface before, and they will finish the job. When she is done carefully collect the eggs and place them in the vermiculite. Hope this helps Chris.

when you move them. You might want to lift each with a spoon or other implement so you can keep them positioned the same. It'll take a little doing - especially if she has a big clutch!
Just for reference here is an article for you if you haven't already read it. good luck!

Thanks for the help.

She layed 29 eggs, and seems to be doing alright. A few of the eggs were dehydrated, but I made sure they were able to absorb some water and they look much better.

Hopefully I'll have more good news in about eight months.
