Our lass laid 26 eggs yesterday  Shocked ! Un-fertilized I add.

She had been digging and scratching around for a few days, we put in some top soil in a tray which she dug and dug and dug in!

She ate lots of greens on the days prior to the scratching behaviour then she stopped eating altogether.

We got up yesterday and there was one single egg in the bottom of her viv.  She poop'd then proceeded to lay a further 25 eggs.  Once finished I gave her a good soak and a big bowl of salad and wax worms! She ate the lot.

You can see from the photo's, the fat has depleted on her head and she has lost a third of her body weight.  She is still very bright and alert, she's chillin today however and I'm not surprised !

Anyway here's the eggs :-



Weight loss is visible.



As above.



Clearly you can see her fat pads here, as she tucks into her favourite treat !

Keep packing on that food.  Offer her additional soaks to bring the hydration level up.  Chances are, the depletion in her head you see is the result of hydration and not fat.  put water back into the fat and it should plump back up.  Some females are prone to this.  My Season is like that.  I think TND dragons (Gem) is like that too.

pedialyte worked great!!! Smiley lots of soaks ...lots of fatty food! those eggs look great! my girl laid 45 eggs day one. and then 1-5 everyday after for about 2 weeks. then 1-2 every say or so ... and then when one day she laid ten and then a few weeks form that she laid 6 and then a few more the next day. and that last batch she laid while i was driving. AT least i know shes comfortable..but im pretty sure shes done...Smiley

egg laying is crazy , i have all the actual dates with egg amounts on the calendar haha ...shes a crazy girl. and 5 of the first 45 were fertile...but i pretty much baked them. someday i will get an incubator.

One of those liquid vit. suppements and bath additives would be good as well. The bags of yellow electrolite powders sold at feed stores work wonders an any animal Ive given. Probably would be good to add a spoonful or 2 in with my tea everyday!
