Oh No!

Since the last posting, she had a large dump, ate the day after going, and according to the vet has follicles. Now she is wrapping her bowl and going into shed.

Can you say post ovulation shed?

Well follicles are not eggs so I would say she has not ovulated. a vet should be able to tell follicles from eggs.. eggs are softer and harder to feel. Also wrapping around the water bowl like that is an indication of building (follicle development) If you have a male in quarantine I would put him with her because those eggs will not be fertile.

Whats her back ground? Is she a wc? Maybe the guy got her in and thought she wasnt gravid? Could be a very cool clutch.. Atleast its an exciting one until they hatch..

I'm starting to wonder since she arrived with scars and scale rot.
She just may be a WC animal. She eats great but that funky male WC ate like a champ when he arrived so I can't base her origin on that. Since she was supposed to be a perfect, 100% healthy female and arrived far from that, I would not doubt if she is an import. This is going to be interesting to see what pops out.

She is not going near any of the males here. She is not out of QT yet. I changed from paper to mulch to bump humidity but that is the only thing I am doing. I don't want to chance one of may animals with her for a long time.
