This female just laid a clutch of 6 eggs on the 5th. It was a chilly night, so I hung a Che over her. Now here she is again. Picked one of the hottest days this time. So you do for them what you have to. This time I gave her an umbrella for shade.

Don't worry barb. She will get her routine down. Then you will be like. Man can she stop laying enough eggs lol. I missed a clutch from my big female the other day. Was her 3rd clutch for the season, she usually lays 6 clutches every year and 15-19 eggs per clutch. So be patient it will come, and you will be on overload

Whoa, wait a minute. I don't want that many, holy cow. :eek: I think I'm liking the fact that my thought to be first female, is actually acting more male. I can't imagine after Kelly's post, having two females.:confused: I just wanted to have a few:D. I guess my very small herd with be three individual solitary herds:p:D

Haha. For some reason my female lays a boat load. I'm pretty sure it's not normal. But also keep in mind I think she's got a lot of pardalis if not pure pardalis in her. So that may be the difference. My to t babcocki female lays tiny clutches. But she's a Mozambique and isn'tucj bigger than 8" anyways.
