how long will she wander?

lele May 12, 2004 02:45 PM

OK, Luna has been doing some serious wandering the last few days. Up and down the screens, branches, thermometer/hygrometer, anything she can wrap those little claws around! She gets all pissy if I open the door until later in the day - then she wants out. I have been hesitant to disturb her or even take her outside but it was HOT yesterday and she was out for about 1/2 hour. I am waitng for my MV Bulb replacement from Zoo Med so I am trying to give her as much UVB (if she is willing).

I added a third plant to her 2' cage in case she wants a different place to lay. She has STILL not shown any signs of digging, has no interest in food (again) but is drinking a lot.

It has been 3 weeks since the x-ray showing eggs.

as always, thanks!

It could be she's feeling nearly ready to get rid of her burden and is restless. Can't know for sure (also as the season is changing toward summer too), but I suspect she's finally going to take action. I wish I could help you more, but at least she's not just sitting around with eggs.

I just came up to check on her and it was VERY quiet in there! So I peaked (she is covered by a shower liner for privacy) and I could see her tail in the plant pot! Can this really be happening!?!?! I will keep you all posted!

lele and hopefully-not-so-lumpy Luna

Not sure if you have been following my dilemma since December, but Luna, having not been bred, began showing receptive colors in early December, then stopped eating, filled out, etc. etc. and I expected eggs way back in january - it never happened and she has been weird ever since ;-/ So this has been going on for almost 6 months! All of you guys breed yours so you know what the heck is going on - Luna and I have had little info to go by. LOL!

As for wort (which means "plant" I believe it is worry wart - which is even worse! but no matter how you look at it - don't ever call me one again! Just kidding! I have no idea where it comes from!

Hey lele,

Good to know Luna is doing great : )
I'm sure she would give you all the excitement when her first clutch is laid.

lele May 13, 2004 04:43 PM

thanks If there were going to be babies at the end of all this I might be excited but since not I just want it done with. Hopefully her tiny 5" body will be able to move them all out!

She's back to her branches and even came out to wander her jungle gym when I opened her door tonight - she's exasperating! ;-/
