Female laying without Male Contact...

[yager_ps]

I bought Aussie 2 years ago... I was told he was a male, vet told me he was a male, and the local reptile guy told me he was a male.

Welll...
He wasn't!

Today "he" layed 35 unfertilized eggs!! He, or rather she is housed with one other female (has layed before)

Why has "he" or rather she, layed without any male physical contact. The only thing I can guess is Aussie can see a male across the room, and this has possibly triggered a breeding/laying response

Does anyone ever had this happen?

Imagine your buddy (Aussie) who you thought was a male turned out to be a female after 2 years of having him... I'm still not over the shock!!!!
