OK, so I have one leo in a tank with two others who have been bred this year, one is producing eggs. This one started digging like CRAZY last week, and I was told to make sure she's not gravid. Well, she hadn't been with a male ever, soo....
Anyway, I went ahead and bred her a few days ago, and she's still at it, and now is getting aggressive toward the others, who've never had a problem getting along. She's chasing them away from her digging site, and being really nasty about it (which would appear to cover 1/3 of a 45 gal tank). What's going on???

As, I think it was Marcia...commented yesterday in another thread, many females will lay infertile eggs without any exposure to males. Also, a lot of animals change their temperament greatly just before they are about to give birth/lay eggs, that may be why she is getting territorial with the others.

-ignorance is not to be punished when one is trying to gain knowledge...what scares me is the vast number of people who, when given the information to gain knowledge, choose to ignore it.
That's what i figured, but i'm not seeing any in her belly. unless she laid them in the terraium substrate and buried them deep. Anyway, I bred her anyway, and as of this morning she's in her new lay box with no eggs or bulges in sight. Crazy Beatrice! She's the only one I've raised from a hatchling, hope this doesn't reflect on my parenting skills!!!
