Expecting eggs

[Mp432]

This female has been off feed since March after locking with one of our males. I think that I may have missed her ovulation because this is my first go at this and I was not sure what I was looking for. Her last shed was 31 days ago and I was hoping to find eggs either yesterday or today. I wanted to see what everyone thinks about where she is at in the process.

Thanks

Her bottom half does look large, but not bigger than her top half. If she was a few days from laying, you would see a large bulge close to her tail, like she's about to drop a big one. Has she been layhing perfectly coiled ? And been a little active the past couple days?

I woke up this morning and found her like this...

8 big beautiful eggs!!! I was not expecting that many since it was her first time laying. We are so excited and can't wait for the babies.

Nice congrats!

Yeah the ridged back and you could see the eggs outline also at her lowest part

Now it is a 60 day stare at the incubator !

Thanks everyone. I feel like a proud father lol.

When do I candle them to check for veins?

Before you put them in the incubator

They are already in there. Is it safe to take them out or should I just leave them?
