My little Ella layed eggs!!!!

Sam-N-Ella Jan 21, 2005 08:42 PM

I had no idea she was gravid, or even was old enough. She is just a little thing. I figured Sam would have been the one to lay eggs because she is a lot bigger and older. Anyway she layed 8 eggs so far. I always wondered what we would do when one of them layed eggs. So, now what do we do? Is there anything important I am supposed to do. I know to give her extra calcium and lots of water. Can I let her go back in the enclosure with Sam(female also)or just keep her where she is now. Do I make a basking spot for her right where she layed the eggs or somewhere else? Do I take the eggs from her? I am so glad she didn't have any problems. We didn't even think anything of her trying and escaping from her enclosure a lot lately because she has always done that. She wants to free roam like the bigger iggys, but she is still too little. I guess she is all grow'd up now. She just got her stripes a few weeks ago. Before that she was bright green. Here is a picture of her crawling on Chaos earlier in the day. She kept getting out so we put her in a smaller enclosure that we borrowed when we had all those hurricanes to keep the 2 girls in. She wasn't able to get out of there so she climbed up on the shelf and layed her eggs.
