First ever Sulcata eggs

[SulcataPardalis]

My female Sulcata laid her first clutch of nine eggs today. She has been pacing and trying to escape her shed for days. I relented yesterday and let her out in the near freezing UK temperatures and she started to dig a nest. I returned her to her shed, but placed her on her own in the nesting box, turned up the temperature a few degrees. I got home tonight to find nine perfect eggs buried.

Very cool. How long have you had her?

 

[SulcataPardalis]

She is approximately 8yrs and 14". Thought she was a bit too small yet, but apparently not!
