Now the wait begins...

So I'll start with my story on this girl... She's a 10 yrs old virgin bred to a 4 yrs old virgin male. Started pairing on Nov 1st 2012 and I'd gave up on my girl this year and decided to pull all breeding efforts on May 21st, I checked on her May 22 at exactly 6:30 PM and caught her Ovy in progress now the long wait till eggs... Normal X Normal pairing... Pics below

10 years is a long wait for 1st breeding.
I hope she repays your patience with a huge clutch. Good luck.

Thanks, I just loved her, really wasn't interested in breeding till a friend ask me to start.

Just keeping the thread updated... She's now in the blue and if my calculations are correct, right on schedule for her pre-lad shed...
now the coincidence... the male she was being bred to is also in the blue... what are the odds of that... lol

Day 29 and she's been laying inverted and contorted for the past week also she's done some interior decorating, literally moved all the bedding aside and sitting on the tub floor. Hoping she lays soon.

Congrats and don't be in any kind of a rush. Good things come to those who wait.

No rush, just want her back to her old self.
