Torture!

Ok, my female is due to lay anytime now. I was just wondering if there was any particular behavior to look for. Is it really bad that I check on her 4 times a day. (I'd probably check on her more often but I'm not in the house :oops: ) She seemed to be contorting a bit this afternoon and this evening, which is unusual compared to her normally laying in a coil. Unfortunately, the weird behavior is making me want to check on her MORE often.

I think I also need either medication or someone to lock the room so I can't get in there. (although I can see myself scaling the outside of the house to get in through the second floor window :doh: )

I believe, contortion= eggs being aligned for lay :D

I could be wrong but if I made your condition worse I'll pay for the meds. However if you fall of the house while trying to get into the second story window you're on your own :P :rockon:

Leave the snake alone.....she knows what to do. :P

Yup, I'm resisting the urge to run upstairs and double check.... maybe she wasn't contorting maybe she was just rolling over. Snakes do that, right? :doh: I think you might have made it worse.... I think I may need someone to sit on me. :oops:

Christie, If it is like this every year, I dont know what I will do. Especially when I get new morphs and they start breeding. It is insane.. it really makes you a patient person. I guess it makes it all worth it when you see the little ones come out of the eggs. I bet the endorphins will flow like crazy.. like smoking crack. I can see how this hobby is addictive for sure.

just know there are many where you are right now...:carouse:

Congrats Christie:carrot:...look at it this way...going up and down those stairs 15 times a day is getting you in shape for bikini weather LOL.....

Christie,

I just talked to Adam and he said you got your eggs!!! Congrats!!! We got ours too (well she is actually still laying them).

Post some pics please, please, please!!!!

Neil

What???? Christie, you have your eggs???? Squeeeeeal!!!! Congratulations!!!!

POST!?!?!?!? YEA!!!!! Congrats Christie!!! :carrot: :D :carrot: HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!

Yes, I have eggs. :oops: I've been spazzing out all day. If you talked to Adam, he told you I was a bit 'touched'. I'm literally SHAKING with excitement, but I have yet to remove her from her eggs. I was waiting to post about it until I got some pics, and when I'm a bit less babbly. (poor Adam, he had to put up with my psychosis and my sister got it even worse!) I'm going to remove her in a couple minutes, so wish me luck. My heart rate has been sky high ALL day. I'll be back on in a bit, and I'll post a more detailed account.

Thank you all for the support. :blowkiss:

Awesome, Christie! Try not to shake too much when you try to remove her. ;) I can't wait to see pics!

It's ok. :giggle: I'm just laughing. Poor Adam must have been fielding hysterical first timers calls. I was a mess when I called him. He's probably still laughing at my babbling. :oops: I could stop to take a breath or stop talking. The results were ... interesting rapid speech.
