On a happier note...

One of my girls here has been displaying some nesting behavior. Tomorrow I'll be taking her down for an x ray to verify that she is indeed gravid. I've got my incubator all set up and ready to go just in case. Heres a pic of the (hopefully) soon mama to be :)

Omgord, congratulations, Tommy! One egg or 18, I'm sure you're a proud papa. Here's hoping to a very special hatchling! :D

Looks like she's got some small rocks moving through too. I hope she doesn't have trouble passing that big egg.

How is she doing? Hearing through the grape vine, things weren't moving too well. Hope all turns out good for both of you.

So far i think "we" are having more of the issues then her. She started to display nesting behavior, digging around and pacing about and such. Then she just, stopped. Which drove us to consider inducing. However, even afte the ocytocin, she didnt drop. So, as of now, we wait...

And yep Yvonne, she appears to have munched a couple stones. Vet didnt seem concerned though. So, we wait wait wait....
