This year is my second attempt at breeding after a disasterous and tragic first attempt, so I'm kinda nervous and kinda confused. Backstory from last year starts with this thread if anyone wants to read about it.

Anyway, to my current confusion. I started pairing this female in October of last year. I observed no less than four locks with my pastel yb. She was pounding food until late December when she stopped taking food and started refusing the male. I never witnessed an ovy, but all the signs seemed to be there that she took. I believe she shed in late January but I didn't write it down for some reason. She did shed on March 5th, so I wrote that down as possible post ovy shed. I figured I shuld be seeing eggs any day so the incubator is ready to go. I came home from work today to find her like this... (Excuse the dirty tub in the first pics. I havent been taking her out at all since last shed)





She has a bulge like an ovy but the ridgeback like she could be close to laying. I took her out to clean the tub and check her out after those pics and I can clearly see 4 egg-sized lumps in her abdomen. Here is another pic i snapped when I put her back.



So, there it is. I'm confused and worried and don't want a repeat of last year. Any thoughts guys and gals? Thanks...
