2nd Pre-lay Shed?

[rlditmars]

They're still incubating. All three were viable, but I think they spent about 5 days with the mom. I don't know the lay date. Also, one of the eggs has dimpled severely, but still shows strong, pulsing veins. They have 2 weeks to hatch, approximately.

Thank you again and best of luck on your clutch.

While unusual I have had 2 females over the years shed twice between their Ovy and laying eggs.

Clutches were fine in both instances.

Thanks Deborah. That is good to hear. Where the clutches any larger than normal, anything that would warrant the need to shed twice because of growth?

I guess it also means I won't be seeing any eggs tomorrow. I don't mind waiting as long as mom is healthy and the eggs are viable.
