Odd behaviour

Evie · 15-09-2009, 05:06 PM

My Female Leopard Honey has been really bolshy today - nudging and butting the others so I decided to put her in the bath around 3.00pm ready to put her in her sleep box.

She lay in the bath really relaxed and then had a wee which had odd coloured bits in it - the next thing she raised her back end and laid an egg !!!!

She then had a poo a nice wet Romaine leaf and is now asleep.

Does she have a laying facility as she may be keeping the rest in to dig and lay properly?

She laid 4 in the garden 4 weeks ago - bless her she dug for 6 hours - it was her first time.

Ah right, are the ones she laid in the garden fertile?

I do have an active male - to be honest Tom we decided not to incubate - I do feel sad as I would love the experience of my own hatchling but I have 5 ( 4 I rehomed) and 2 of them have health problems.

I really dont think I am experience enough to go through that and I really do feel stretched with 5.

I was frantic when she did start to dig last month - Terrypin was on the chat box and he talked me through the night - she didnt finish until 10.30 - I was so worried.

Ah right

Maybe you could just keep one egg next time just for the experience? I doubt you will struggle selling it

I would love to Tom but I know I wouldn't be able to part with it !!!!

Have you had any of your own hatchlings?

Oh Anne, just seen this! How is she? At least you're not you're not waiting up half the night this time. Do you think there are any more? Big hugs to Honey xxx

I have just sent you a pm Bindi x

She seems fine - she is asleep now - it is a worry - just hope she hasn't got anymore - we have just topped up the topsoil in the enclosure but she didn't use it last time so I am not hopeful.
