    Not all eggs laid
    I don't know if I screwed up here. I have a lot of eggs this year, almost 60 so far (a lot for me anyway). I opened the tub of a female and there she was coiled around the eggs.

    I removed her gently and took the eggs and put in incubator. But I looked at her vent and it is quite obvious there are a couple more inside. I don't know if she was actually in the procesd of laying when I removed the eggs or not. Judging from the consistency of the eggs, they were just laid.

    I put her back in the tub, with the other eggs removed. Is she going to lay the rest? Or did I screw up bad?

    Hopefully she will lay the remaining eggs if left to settle down. :please:

    Anything I can do? Leave her alone? What are the chances of her laying the remaining eggs?

    Should I leave her alone or take her to the vet?

    She was already coiled on the eggs and not moving. I thought this meant she already stopped laying?

    I just looked through the clear tub and she's laid again. I can't be sure as I don't want to disturb her, but looking in through the 5.5 inch tall tub front I see she's in there coiled around at least one egg.

    First thing, relax :P

    they coil up and lay the eggs in the middle of themselves, she was in the middle of laying when you pulled them. Just let her finish, give it a few hours so they can set up, then pull the rest.

    Thanks owal. What do you mean by "set up"? Like let the eggs solidify a bit?

    The ones I put in the bator, they will be alright, right?

    when eggs are laid they are kinda mushy, I don't know how long it takes but they need time to harden up a little bit to be the eggs we normally deal with, but I know after a few hours they are set up. might take 10 minutes I really donno and chances are your eggs will be fine.
