Hi all, I hope that someone can help me. I was given a gravid female and her male counterpart last night. I was told by the guy that yesterday morning she laid a dozen eggs but he threw them away. (This is why he brought them to the pet store because he didn't want to have to deal with them anymore because they were breeding.... Um duh isn't that what normally happens when a male & female live together in the same cage). The male and female were housed together for the last year and a half in some pretty crappy conditions. (Living in a cage outside with no UVB getting 5 mealworms a day each). I now have them seperated in their own homes. My questions are regarding the female and more eggs to come. I think I know what to do for a lay box and I know the signs to watch for. I'm fattening her up as much as possible before she lays more eggs. I'm going to get an incubator on Monday for when it does happen.
So my questions are when will she likely lay eggs again? She is still looking "egg fatty" but I can't really feel any.
Anything else special I should do for her? I'm feeding her as much as I can and giving her lots of calcium & she's got a MVB right now.
Anything else anyone can tell me would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
