    remove the tub from the rack an grab her gently with one hand. once that hand is on her she normally just lets out a hiss an you can now grab her with both hands and slowly take her off the eggs. every now and then i get a bitter but i dont blame them i wouldnt want anyone taking my babies either. Tiff cant wait to see how many she lays i know youve been looking forward to this for a while

    Tiffany, that's awesome! After opening her tub give her a couple seconds to calm down, and as others have said touching her to calm her down may help. I just slowly and gently unwrap her from the eggs. Early on I tried the towel and it seemed to freak them out more then anything. Good luck!

    Re: Best Way to Pull A Female From Her Eggs?

    Thanks guys!!!

    EGGS. I saw two nice white ones.. Hopefully the others are fertile!


    After I take her off the eggs, do I wash her down with just regular warm water or is soap necessary to get the scent of the eggs off completely?

    Dish soap? Or Dial/Any antibacterial? Or maybe even Sweet Pea from B&BW ?

    Dish soap is fine just make sure it's rinsed off. Also give the tub a good scrub to get rid of any egg scent in there. She will cruise around the tub for awhile looking for her eggs. Give her a few days and then offer a smaller meal than normal.
