>in the last 2 or so weeks. Now she has shed for the second time this week. I am assuming that she is gravid and her tummy is growing, but is that why she is sheding often??? If not please tell me if she needs something or if it is something that I am not doing for her.....

Thank you
Tiff (***worried***)

I wasn't trying to get eggs, I figured that I had to hibernate them so that they would mate. Mine were still too thin, so I kept them up and eating all winter. I guess that we will see in a few more weeks. I am excited, but very nervous. I have become very attatched to my two little collards. My son just loves them and our dog "moose" runs to their cage first thing when we let him in from outside.

Oh Eve, on a side note. I was giving my two box turtles a bath today and "Moose" loves to watch then in the tub. He will sit and watch them walk back and forth in the tub. But when I get up to leave them play for a while I always take moose with me. Ya never know.... and I would hate for an accident to happen. I went to the kitchen and after a few min I heard splashing! Moose was sitting in the tub whlie the turtles climbed around on his feet. what a goofball dog!. I put the turtles away and then gave him a bath just to be safe.

Tiff =)
Thanks Eve!!
