the fat lady went to the house - she ain't singin' YET!
My CII Colombian female that I've had since she was a 2" hatchling in Dec. 1998.. and raised by those old "no protein.. no fruit.. low humidity" caresheets back then! Another reason I'm so eccentric about how they are cared for so yours doesn't look like her.. pyramided.
CII usually nests ever 35-40 days. Her last nest was 1/16(?) !
Yesterday she was scratchin' around in the cypress.. so into the nest box she went. I got busy and didn't check on her for a couple hours this evening.. when I did she was "covering-up" her nest..
I set her aside and here's what I found..
Cleaned them up for the incubator..
The drought of '07 has my girls all messed up.. more breeding in their winter quarters than last summer - they don't breed in DRY.. they breed when it rains! [ high humidity ]
