Does anyone else's females really darken up when they are gravid?
She is generally a bright yellow especially around her face and eyes. Now she is usually really dark except when she takes her daily bath. Bath time really cheers her up I guess.
We are expecting her eggs within the next 2 weeks.
My Sunny bearded constantly during her last two weeks of being gravid. When I saw the volume of the eggs that came out of her belly, I saw why. Just make sure she's warm enough, and that she keeps getting her baths and food. It sounds like you're doing a fantastic job with her. I guess egg-laying is just a stressful process for everyone involved. Good luck!
Thanks. I feel pretty terrible right now about Sunny's eggs. My boyfriend's response to the eggs molding was something along the lines of "They probably wouldn't have survived in the wild anyway, and you prepared for this, so it isn't logical to be upset". Seriously, I didn't sign up for a relationship with a logic-robot.
Though lots of people may not understand, it's hard not to get so attached to your Beardies and sympathize with them whenever something goes wrong or when you can tell that they're uncomfortable. It sounds like you're taking fantastic care of Siren, though, and I'm sure she appreciates it somewhere in her little lizard head. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep us all posted.
