Cleopatra is laying!

[Aleena]

Yay! Take that, you dumb vet who told me she wasn't gravid. I'll post pics when it's all said and done, and maybe even a video. I've seen two eggs so far!

 

[Josh]

Wow - Congrats! Can't wait to see photos!!

 

[Aleena]

Here's the tote we have her in for privacy. Plenty of breathing room, don't worry, the wood isn't flush!

Video of her digging. She didn't go with this hole, she decided to go kiddy corner and dig another one.

She kept falling asleep. Took her hours to finish up her hole!

She fell asleep like this with dirt all over the place once she crawled out of the hole to go dig the other.

Pictures of eggs to come in a bit. I'm just making sure she's done covering them and all done.

It may help if you pile the majority of the substrate on one side or corner so she can 'Tunnel' horizontally, rather than dig a hole. Sometimes helps if you start a tunnel, at times they will choose to finish the started one or choose to start a new one. Or has she laid them already?

She's done All cleaned off and in under the basking light. She looks so ghastly thin! She was too skinny to get pregnant.

I like that idea though. That would have made for perfect tunneling material.

Well congrats, hope she makes a fine mother. Yay for more bearded dragons!

How long can photo bucket take to upload photos? Geesh! Been waiting for almost an hour. Shouldn't have put that video in there.

While a nice sentiment, BDs don't mother their young & would be more likely to eat them once hatched .

Dear god, well I guess we shouldn't let that happen. I have heard of people's mothers being soul sucking instead before but to eat ones own child is just harsh.

Let me restate the post. "I'm sure she will pass on some good genes and great colors to her young"

Large files can take a long time, your upload speeds are much, much lower than your download speeds. For instance, I have reasonably fast internet service, my DL speeds are capable of 50 Mb/sec, but my max upload speed is only 3 Mb/sec. In order for me to reach my full DL speeds, I have to be DLing from multiple sites.

Gotcha. Cancel upload, re upload without video.

Okay, here's the mummy pics for you beardie fanatics!
I've never seen a dragon in quite this strange of a stance to lay... but hey, no judging... it worked.

And then she passes out again... Is she done or did she just take a break again???

Holy COW! How does she manage to keep her legs that far apart with her tail propping her butt up?

She kept falling asleep covering them up too.

I'm done, mommy! Get me outta here before I fall asleep again!

I excavated 13 eggs... tiny little clutch for a tiny little girl!

 

[ThDude]

Wow that little girl had a lot of eggs in her, the before and after of the laying shows how big she really was. How can a vet not tell that she has that many eggs in her?

 

[Germ]

Give her a good feed tomorrow, up it's Calcium intake as much as possible to replenish it's Calcium stores used up by the eggs. She looks like a played out girl, time for lotsa TLC from 'Mommy'. Congrats!!! to you & Cleo on a job & experience well done.

We may never know. That's actually a really small clutch, but not so small for her tiny little body!

She might even get one of her beloved pinkies tomorrow. Shhh! Good for calcium and she looks so thin!
