I had a dream last night that Donuts had somehow gotten eggs, despite the fact that she's lived with me since she was 2 months old with no males lol. I digress.

I was worried about her being too young/small and having eggs, as she's just 8 months old. After I noticed she was huge and doing the lumping thing, and I ran her through my hands and felt the eggs (probably from reading about feeling for follicles?). I put her in a tub with vermiculite and she started laying right away. Because dreams always have such realistic timing lol.

The first thing that came out was a slug. But, like, a literal slug!! A straight up slimy gastropod. Okay... More slugs kept coming and then she was done. 5 slugs if anyone was interested lol.

I was relieved that they were slugs because they were easier for her to pass than eggs would have been, yet concerned because they had come out white instead of normal slug color...?

I'd like to blame a few things for this:

1.) Reading through the breeding section before bed

2.) Harry Potter. If you've watched the movies, you know the scene lol

3.) I've been learning about and interacting with Madagascar hissing cockroaches in my Bio lab and learned that they come out of a shed with their new exoskeleton white. Apparently it hardens up and develops the usual pigment over a few days or so? Anyway, I guess the slugs being white was my brain's way of saying they were vulnerable or not fully formed or something.

I guess I should try to read about nicer things before bed
