Naughty Layla

Layla, my female TGT, has been in her indoor pen now for two weeks and very picky with her food.
I had thought it was the move, but today I found her digging away quite happily. Unfortunately she had chosen a spot where the substrate was not very deep and had hit the bottom. As it's quite mild today, I fitted a 150combi bulb back in the greenhouse, put the tube heaters on etc, with a view to popping her back out whilst I revamped her indoor pen.

While shaping a mound for her in the greenhouse, I put the trowel straight through one egg, but found another two there also. This must be her second clutch - the first was laid 9th June but sadly came to nothing

So, have put the "new" 2 in the incubator - any ideas what chance they may have

Layla is now back in her inside pen, with a nice deep mound,so fingers crossed

Never hurts to incubate

and you can post pictures of the eggs in a dark with a torch shining in and we should be able to tell you what's going on.

Ooooh - that's possibly good news

How long should I leave them before candling them?

Oh how exciting, sorry about the first clutch not being fertile Lynne, but maybe these ones will be, well done Layla, can't wait to see these babies

Can't believe it Bev - I go digging outside because she is inside and wants to lay and find eggs

Really quite bizarre

Those two are safely in the incubator - we'll see

Just hoping she goes back to digging tomorrow and safely passes what she is carrying

A surprise find there Lynne! Best of luck with the eggs.

The eggs were probably laid the first or second week of August. Give it a week and then candle them.

How exciting Lynne, I nearly always break at least one egg as unless I spot them laying I never know they are there
