Lia's second infertile clutch in 2 months

[Wellovelizards]

I figured out why Lia has been eating so little and acting weird low and behold clutch number 2. The kids really enjoyed watching.

Her previous owner said she had never had any before we got her now it's 2 so soon.

Really should have caught that & had a lay box for her or piled all the sand in one corner, moistened, so she would have had a spot to dig a tunnel to lay them in. You may have noticed her frantically digging around &\or glass climbing lately. They will generally only lay them out in the open out of desperation. They are nice and plump for infertile eggs, which is an indication that she has been holding them back for a long time ...

Aww bless her she looks exhausted laying all those eggs must really take it out of a female BD

I did notice the digging and glass climbing. She has a few areas with piles of sand. So next time I should mound it and wet it a little when she does that? What is a lay box?

It's a separate enclosure you can use to house her temporarily so she has a place to lay her eggs. I use a Rubbermade Container with a damp soil & sand mixture. Basking lamp & UVB should also be provided during her time in the laybox.

Make sure she gets her calcium & vitamins

 

[Wellovelizards]

Giving her extra she looks great

She'll perk up soon, hopefully. It's best to provide a box for her to dig in with moistened substrate that she can pile up and tunnel in. They can have health issues if they hold on to eggs too long.
