Posted by: Gregg_M_Madden at Thu Jun 12 20:03:39 2014 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Gregg_M_Madden ] As far as females being super active and pacing right before laying eggs goes, this is not a natural way for a female to act at any time while she is gravid. This is a stress behavior and an almost "frantic" search for the conditions she needs to properly nest her clutch. With full cage nesting, you do not see this behavior at all. And I have watched numerous females lay eggs and they never looked stoned nor do they go into a trance like state. These are not sea turtles. If you females look drugged, I suspect that they are stress or exhausted due to retaining eggs longer than she should. All of my females are quite alert and some have even taken meals while laying eggs. And I think I am done. LOL [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
