? on eating after pre-lay shed

amelcorn May 14, 2003 11:42 AM

My females both have eaten after what should have been their pre-lay shed, should I be concerned that there will be no eggs? Both have been bred multiple times by proven males and 1 female is proven. They have both gained considerable weight have stretched scales and continue to hide in the nest box. Is this abnormal or are they just fooling me?
