Well at least you know who she wants to fertilize her eggs. Same with Puff and Gabriel. I'm so hoping that MoMo is done now. Hopefully!

Awwww, that green cheek conure just loved you. :love5: Maybe a rearrangement of the dining room is in order. Michele has Gem, Diesel and Java in her bedroom so guess it can be done. :wink:
MoMo laid 2 MORE eggs, that poor girl. Great that she's eating so well now though, that will help her put some wt back on. Hope this is the end of the egg laying for her.

I will have to seriously sleep on that for awhile. Not sure how Zim would take to having another mouth to feed in the house.diamc":386hc9px said:
I would say that 117 eggs in 1.5 months would more than qualify her as being done.
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY GIANNA, YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN NOW!

Hello Gina,
Your dragons are growing up! I didn't realize they were already that age.
Happy birthday to them both.
That is quite a story about MoMo & who she wants to mate with. LOL I hope that she is done laying eggs, that is entirely way too many to lay!

Since I had posted so much to Facebook, I thought it'd be easier just to copy/paste the events here.

This was what I'd been dealing with for the past 1.5 hours. MoMo had been pacing like an expectant parent, and yes, her butt is swollen again. Why does she always pick the hottest/muggiest days to want to lay eggs? WHY!!!
She'd been pacing non-stop since ~10:30am and drove everyone crazy. She'd also been rubbing her butt everywhere.

We went out at 5:30pm, wasted about a half hour trying to get away from my next door neighbor, then she wandered, walked, surveyed, and tested for about another hour or so, then I finally brought her to the backyard where she proceeded to walked nearly the entire yard. She tried to make a beeline for the groundhog's hole twice, but thank god for my fast reflexes I caught her in time. Finally, at around 7:30pm (was guessing based on the lack of lighting outside), she suddenly stopped digging (barely scraped cleared a softball-sized area of grass) and started to do the infamous butt wiggle. About 5 minutes of wiggling, she proceeded to fall asleep. I allowed her to 'rest' for about 10 minutes or so before picking her up and bringing her inside for a bath, which she practically slept through.
I learned something new about MoMo tonight: She likes to start digging under me, while I'm crouched on the ground. I guess it makes her feel safe while she's distracted with digging.
She didn't want to go into the hole she dug a month ago and used twice. She stood at the entrance, looked inside, and promptly jumped to the other side and walked away.
8/28, 10:06am
When I got home from work (yesterday), I saw that she had just about tore up her house and was still pacing like a mad woman. After cleaning up everyone's poops and making a bathroom break myself, I took her out of her tank and plopped her in front of the living room window, then I went downstairs to see if Zim needed to go potty. Shortly afterwards, I came back upstairs to see that MoMo was flat as a pancake and looked awfully sleepy. I asked her if she wanted to go outside, but instead of getting excited, she closed her eyes and proceeded to go to sleep. She never paced nor acted antsy all night.
4:06pm
MoMo is on her 4th trip down the stairs and to the front door, where she'd been impatiently pacing to go outside. She also head bobbed me at least 5 times because it's not after 4:30pm yet (that's when I'm officially off the work clock).
It's 4:36pm and she's at the front door again. Would someone please tell me who taught her how to tell time?
7:18pm
After wandering the yard once again, she finally settled on a spot, under me of course, to dig a new hole. I wonder how long I'll have to sit in a catcher position. My feet are already numb
By the time this photo was taken, I had already been squatting for about an hour. Shortly after this photo was taken, my legs started to go numb and I decided to sit down. Well, seeing that I wasn't hovering over her anymore, she decided to squeeze through the little opening between my heels and proceeded to start a new spot against my butt. I promptly sat up and placed her back.
After clearing all of the grass from that spot, she suddenly started to do circles around my feet (which have not moved in almost 2 hours). Two full circles later, she started the infamous butt wiggle and settled in for night-night. Yes, she decided that she was going to fall asleep, at 7:50pm. I waited and watched until 8:10pm to see if she'd attempt laying, but she was already fast asleep (her breathing was far slower than before), so I picked her up and brought her in the house. And because she never did dig a real hole nor lay eggs, we'll be doing this again tomorrow.
By the way, I am hurting big time, from my neck (from looking down at her) down to my toes (from holding myself in a squatting position).
8/29, 2:47pm
We are on Day 3 of MoMo's Big Adventure, or lack thereof. I'd been trying to inhale lunch (yeah, a bit late) as fast as I could so I could take her outside. She is currently pacing in front of the front door, for the third time today. It doesn't look like I'd be able to squeeze in a fast lawn mowing beforehand either.
Here we go again!
4:33pm
After wandering & starting/stopping digging from last night's hole, I finally convinced her to go back to her old hole. She'd been eagerly re-excavating since 4:25pm. Hope she won't dig too much longer & lay those darn eggs already.
7:37pm
I did manage to squeeze in a half hour of mowing. Didn't think I was capable of mowing that fast. Go me! (I had her safely covered up)
She finished burying her eggs at around 9:20pm, and I plucked her out with a bit of protest. Got her all cleaned 10 minutes later. Her butt was still swollen and during the rinse cycle, she pushed one more time, but nothing came out (thank god!). I plopped her on top of the couch where she scratched and dug at the window perch for about 10 minutes, then crawled underneath the turtle stuffy and fell asleep.
Surprisingly, she only laid 30 eggs tonight.
I went back and checked on her previous clutches and I think I have an OCD beardie. She has this thing for even numbers: 34 from first clutch, 42 from second, 38 from third, and 30 from this/fourth.
In total, counting the stray one from before her first and two after her third, she had laid 147 eggs since June. EEK! She so better be done for this year.
I took MoMo to bed with me last night because she just looked so sad sleeping by herself in front of the living room window. Everything started out ok, with her wrapped in the blanket and on my chest, but sometime in the wee hours I suddenly awoke to very sharp pains on my throat/chin. Turns out that she had crawled herself out of the blanket and wanted to snuggle up to me (just like what she used to do during her first year here). Whether it was for security or warmth, it sure did startle me and keep me awake for awhile. Finally, I couldn't take the poking stabs anymore and moved her next to me, then went back to sleep.
Then, sometime between 6:30am and 7:00am, I was once again suddenly awoke to scratching noise. Being all hazy and still half asleep, I thought it was coming from between the walls and that perhaps a mouse had gotten in again. I ignored it for a bit and quickly fell back to sleep, but before I knew what had happened, I heard the noise again, but this time I listened to where it was coming from. Because I was still half asleep (eyes have yet to open at this point), I still thought it was coming from in between the walls, but now higher up. As of this writing, I'm still trying to figure out what prompted for what happened next. Out of nowhere, I flew out of bed and started calling MoMo's name, all the while searching for her. I never once looked next to my pillow to see if she was still under the blankets. Not seeing her anywhere on the floor to the left side of the bed, but still hearing scratching sounds, I decided to look under the bed, and sure enough, there she was!
She had her nose pressed against the moulding and was scratching/digging her little heart out. In a flash, I flew around to the other side of the bed and pulled her out, dust bunnies and all. She looked a bit bewildered that I didn't let her dig underneath the bed. Even after putting her back on the bed, she continued to scratch and dig as if she was still digging her hole outside. This continued for another half hour until I finally gave up in trying to sleep and got up to let Zim out for potty.
I was able to get her to eat 6 supers this morning, but no greens nor water. She'd been asleep, in the upright position, for the past hour or so. It's still freaky to see her do that.

Wow, what an ordeal. She looked so uncomfortable wiggling & rubbing her butt like that, poor girl. Happy to hear she laid them, hope she is DONE at least for the rest of this year. Unbelievable that she has laid 147 eggs since JUNE!
I was surprised that the fat stores on top of her head looked pretty good for going through all of that. Great that she ate some supers for you.

I can't get over how many eggs she's lain, that is way too many, yet she looks great! So guess it's not to much of a concern for her, just for you. Hope your legs are feeling better. You need to get one of those short lawn chairs so she can dig underneath you but you can still sit down and not squat. Give that a try (hopefully next year, no more this year)
So are you working more at home now? That is great if that's the case!

Her fat stores are all gone after all of the digging and laying. She's also once again all wrinkly, but still the same weight (no idea how that's possible).
I had brought a foot stool out with me yesterday, but apparently that wasn't "safe" enough because she kept stopping and walking away, but then return and start digging again. I finally gave up sitting on the foot stool and placed it over the hole-in-progress, and again, it wasn't "safe" enough. Every time I squatted, she'd run over and start digging, no matter where we were. That was when I finally gave up and brought her over to the old hole.
This explains why Digi still has yet to lay, because MoMo wasn't done :roll:

Well, hopefully MoMo is now done and Digi can get on with the job. At least Digi lays in her cave, so that's a relief. So you don't think that short lawn chair (you know, the ones they use on the beach) would work?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
