Wow! Last time you said that you watched her and thought that when she stopped, this was it, which unfortunately didn't happen. What did it feel like this time? What happened when she chose her spot? :)

Caelestis- last time she walked around for a Looooong time and then when she found a spot, she started her hind leg digging, but it wasnt like today. She was really slow and it took over 4 hours for her to dig the same size whole and she moved alot. Today she found the spot and started digging straight down with one leg then the other and kept switching until the hole was dug and she was ready then cuz I watched her "cochlea, base of tail" swell right then and she laid the first egg within a couple minutes. The other times she just dug like she was kneading bread, both feet at the same time and was very distracted. Today she was on a mission! Its something I will never forget! :)
TXGUY- Nope no babies, she has never been with a male. They are unfertilized.
Thanks Spots!!! :)
Thanks Marisa!! :)

Did Tobi sleep the rest of the day or was she active? When Nyxie liad her 2 eggs she got ontop of her dock and wouldn't leave it the entire day or night. Every couple of hours I would put her in the water so she didn't over heat and she would just climb back up there, I felt sooo bad for her. Just glad it is over for you, I never even knew mine needed to lay eggs.. in fact a couple people told me she looked like a male LOL.
