how do you know she is done?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

hey everyone,

My first clutch is on it's way the female is at day 27 after pre-lay shed and now due day is closing in I am starting o get all kinds of doubts and questions etc etc.

What I am wondering mainly at the moment is when she is laying her eggs, how do I know she is finished without taking her off of her eggs?

I wanna know this because I don't not want to disturb her before she is done.


Thanks,
Andrew

Usually eggs are laid at night and discovered in the AM when the animal is done so there is no concern there, in a few cases you will catch the female in action not often, if you do check back in few hours.

The eggs will be fine even if you check back the next day.

Now in the case of egg bound females she might pass one or two eggs and still have eggs in her the next day, that need to be closely monitored and addressed.

Again you will likely wake to a clutch of eggs and the female being done, and if an egg is left in there it will be very obvious when uncoiling the female from it's eggs.

The coil when they are done is very tight around the eggs often hiding them.
