Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Oh, gosh, Matt. I'm sorry she's not feeling right/acting right. Sometimes, if they have infertile eggs, they'll drop them way before they drop the fertile ones. Just try her again late tomorrow afternoon, and see what happens.
As for being eggbound, I've heard about that, but haven't experienced it (knocking on wood). Just keep an eye on her, and keep offering her the lay bin. She knows what she's supposed to do there and she'll do it when she's ready. If she's getting stressed in the bath, it may just be because she's so close and doesn't want to lay in the water.
I've got my fingers crossed for both your sakes that tomorrow's the day.

Eggs
Matt,
Anything new with your girl! about an hr after i posted last night, mine was digging away in the tub, then she stopped and went into her hiding box, got real quiet for a while and when i checked on her 1/2 hr later she was in the process of laying there. i just put a scoop of vermiculite in the box and when she finished she covered them with that, . got 22 this time . She seems to be back to normal today,

This time she whipped me with her tail and I chose not to stress her anymore. I'm sure she can't be comfortable being picked up!
As of now, she is still in her lay box, but just going to sleep (it's that time anyway, but I'm also sure that she's worn out). I know snakes can become eggbound. How likely is it for beardies?? Of course I'm asking this on Friday night; my vet won't be back 'til Monday!

Just got home (spent all day visiting mine, and my wife's, mothers) and still nothing. She let me pick her up without getting so irritable and is now back in her enclosure. I'm about to offer a little food and see if she'll eat.
She spent a solid 48 hours in her lay box, digging away most of the time (at least while I've been home) so I think she needs to be out of it for awhile. Maybe I'll give her a warm bath in the morning. I'm just trying not to add any stress to her right now. Hopefully I have some good news to update y'all with soon!

Agreed, congratulations on the new clutch!
And Matt, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Maybe she's waiting for Mother's Day? Very smart girl.
Good luck!

LOL...she WENT alright...to SLEEP!! Poor girl. I reached in and kicked some medium over the exposed eggs so that the light would not dry them out. She opened her eyes and looked at me, as if to say, "What the are you doing??" (She doesn't usually use that kind of language, but c'mon...poor thing has been in labor for a solid four days!!)
I've got the vermiculite and water mixed up, and sitting ready in the incubator for when she's really done.
I also managed to capture about 1 1/2 minutes of video while she laid a few eggs, but I'm not sure if I can put that on here like I would a pic. If anyone can help me out there, I'll be glad to post it.

Hey, labor will do that to you...trust me.
I'm just glad she's finally getting them out. You think she's done, or just resting for the next big push(es)?
On the video, I'm totally clueless. Hopefully someone else knows how to do that.
