    Torture!

    Ok, my female is due to lay anytime now. I was just wondering if there was any particular behavior to look for. Is it really bad that I check on her 4 times a day. (I'd probably check on her more often but I'm not in the house ) She seemed to be contorting a bit this afternoon and this evening, which is unusual compared to her normally laying in a coil. Unfortunately, the weird behavior is making me want to check on her MORE often.

    I think I also need either medication or someone to lock the room so I can't get in there. (although I can see myself scaling the outside of the house to get in through the second floor window )

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    I believe, contortion= eggs being aligned for lay

    I could be wrong but if I made your condition worse I'll pay for the meds. However if you fall of the house while trying to get into the second story window you're on your own

    Leave her alone? As in.... let her do her own thing without the lamaz coaching? Or as in.... just keep checking on her?

    Yup, I'm resisting the urge to run upstairs and double check.... maybe she wasn't contorting maybe she was just rolling over. Snakes do that, right? I think you might have made it worse.... I think I may need someone to sit on me.
