3 days ago my BP layed 5 or 6 eggs which she is now protecting within her coils. She left me in no doubt that my attention was unwelcome. I tried to move her as she's excavated the substrate from her heatmat and is keep the eggs on it.
The main reason I mention it here is that she is 16 years old (I got her when she was about 6 months old) and has never seen a male BP in that time.
When I can persuade her to give up the eggs I'll check them (just in case of what we used to call a miracle) and get back to you.
I should say that the only change in her routine or environment is that I left her UV light off over the winter so she may have been more tuned in to daylight length.
