Alright so I have been putting Bonnie and Clyde together for the last couple months and they have been successfully locking every week. She is definitely building and absolutely glowing... however she has not shed. There has been a whole lot of coiling, just no pre-lay shed to speak of. Well tonight I took her out to snap a couple pictures of her bump, which she was having no part of I might add. Then when I put her back she scared the crap out of me.

I am still waiting on parts to finish my incubator. The herpstat is supposed to be in the mail, then I need to get the flexwat in and get it all set up for testing. Well tonight when I put her back into her tub she did this backward wiggle move. I have never seen her do it... so I just sat there and stared. After some time she actually peed, yet didn't stop there. She looked like she was actually laying.

There were contractions or what looked like contractions, you could see her muscles flexing downward. Her tail bent up and it looked like she was trying to pass something. Now mind you this is right after I set her down and I am still sitting there like an idiot. After about five minutes she settled down, then coiled back up. I am not sure what on Earth she was doing... but I am a little worried now I may be behind on setting up shop.

Do they always have a prelay shed? She hasn't shed in months... literally. This is my first clutch, so maybe I am just stressing... but she really scared me lol.

P.S. here are the pics I snapped before the little episode.
