Well, she was my last to lay. The poor girl is gonna be spoiled rotten for the next while. I'm kinda scared to weigh her, she looks sooooo scrawny.

edit: here's the finale of the egg laying process

WHEWWWWWWWWWWWW.

She would take turns between scooping the dirt back in the hole, then she would turn around and head butt it in, packing it in. I wonderred how they did that. The first two, I did not witness the actual laying and burying.

She worked so frantically, I was amazed. The poor girl was exhausted, but no, she had to finish it up. She had em packed so tight, took me some effort to get the eggies out. The dirt was so firm.

It was most definately a learning experience.

Thanks everyone. :) This will be my girls only season. I wanted them to have the chance to breed, and they have. Not to mention I am hoping for some killer offspring :) These ladies are definately my prides and joys, pets.

Those were some great pics!!!

I was the same way when my girl layed her first clutch. It's amazing to watch them acctually lay the eggs, and the drive she has to do it.
