Hey Brock , Chia is looking great after the infertile egg ordeal>

Just thought I'd update you.since Shes been eating great, putting her weight back on. Only thing is, (can't tell from pic) she is sporting her gravid colors. Bright orange in her neck collar again or STILL, I should say. I don't know whats up with that yet. Just wanted to show you her pretty pic, since the last pic I posted, where she appeared haggard. Talk later, Eve

As much as I would love to seem some hatchling C. vestiguim, I did not like what she went through before. But I guess that happens sometimes. And with all the girls I'm going to have now, I'd better get used to dealing with all sorts of things. I get to attached and worry about each and everyone of these little buggers !!! LOL Eve

She pulled through the first time. I'm sure she'll do it again. Don't worry. ; ) or at least try not to.

Chia sure does look great! By the way, it sometimes takes a while for gravid coloration to fade. Then again, as mentioned, it is possible that she is working on a second clutch. Has her male C. vestigium companion shown any recent signs of mating interest (head bobs, vibrating, "push-ups", etc.)?

Chino head bobs at her if she looks cross eyed at him, hehehe he always takes an interest yes, and she is very cooperative with him, those 2 are inseperatable. I told you he acually was under the rock when she went in and layed the eggs. She had many spots to choose from but she went in with him.
I have not visually seen anything take place but hey you know that does not mean anything ! LOL I personally would rather she could rest for next time. But we will see. One thing I was very happy to see, and thats the fact she gained back very quickly and looks good. Shes a special one, but hey they all are, guess i always say that about each one, hehahahhaha. Well I will let ya know if she starts having that , HERE WE GO AGAIN LOOK ! LOL take care, Thanks Brock ! Eve
