Eggs laid and spread

[redhood23]

I went into my snake room today and was going to clean out some cages when I saw that my het pied laid 8 eggs for me. Out of the 8, they are all fertile including the one boob egg. (this makes 3 boobs out of 4 clutches). I am just wondering why my female spread the eggs around like this. At least all the eggs are fertile. Has anyone else had a female do this to her eggs?

Is this her first clutch? I've heard that some first-time/inexperienced moms don't coil their eggs very well in the beginning. I was told they can be restless while laying and don't remain in their nest while passing the eggs so they end up all over the place. If that's the case with this girl, maybe try giving her a make-shift nest next time so she feels more comfortable? Just a hide filled partly with sphagnum moss, perhaps.

you mean like this

3 year old virgin Dinker dropping her first clutch

7 eggs ~ One infertile and one died about day 43
5 babies ~ 2.1 black pastel 0.2 normals

No this is her 4th clutch. She usually is good about wrapping around the eggs and in the past she has had nestboxes, but did not lay in them (I found that strange that she didnt like them, so I stopped using them). Thanks for the help!

Thanks, she had eggs rolling all over the place, lol, good thing I was home to scoop them up

Yay for eggs!

Was she completely done? My female last year laid her eggs all over the bin, but by the time I came home from work, she had gathered them all up and was coiled atop them (I couldn't see any of the eggs at all). I have no idea if she's just a goof since it was her first clutch or whether this is somewhat common.

She was completely done. She only wrapped around a few and left the others. I scooped em all up pretty quick. I think she is either a goof or is just pissed off that her baby-daddy left her to do everything on her own. LOL

I've had it happen before too...Couldn't tell you why...They all hatched though.

Hahaha! Looks like that female is saying, "What? Don't like how I lay my eggs? Well, this is MY clutch and I'll lay 'em any way I WANT to! Oh, and NO TOUCHING them or you'll lose a finger."

 

[bossroy]

Just a guess but she looks lost, with no safe spot to lay and couldn't hold them anymore.
