I've seen her on both sides. Hot last night cold this morning. She is normally in one of the hides so I don't see her laying around a lot. I had seen her on her side in the hides but that was about a month ago. I have not been keeping track of sheds. I had 3 others lay so far this year, but normally just find eggs. . I did try to open her up a bit but that is when she started to get annoyed so I put her away.
