repto Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 the first time mine laid you could hardly tell at all.the main thing was it went off its food and was acting differently.I thought it was sick or something at the time.Put her outside for some sun and she started digging,23 eggs later she was skinny with sagging skin?I would not go squeezing and feeling,the eggs are quite soft and if you managed to break any peritonitis would be a rapid death?

repto Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 if you put their front feet on one hand and lift gently by the base of the tail and look at their under belly from behind,you may see slight bumps in their belly like a bunch of grapes.I found that they laid alot earlier in the season than this but not sure about late laying?Varanophile would know more than most.

bulldogod Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 So do they have seasons when they live under lights ?? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 they still seem to know whats really happening with the seasons outside.could be wrong but have witnessed this with my young boxies kept inside for their first winter as well.The coming out of brumation period seems to be a direct trigger for mating acceptance and egg production whatever else happens.
