So, a few times, I've walked in and found Herman with his penis out, in the area of Lily. I haven't actually seen them go at it, but... she didn't look terribly upset.
Also, she seems much more physically receptive to Herman in other situations, so it makes me wonder. At night, they sleep all tucked up in the fake plants, but now they do it almost on top of each other, which they never used to. Also, both now use the dock, whereas only one used to.
This could all be because they are happier in their new home, which is near a window (I'm monitoring algae, fret not!). But the point is, I think I had better be ready for Lily in case she has eggs. She has not had any yet. I don't know how old she is, but she's about 5-6 inches.
So now the questions.
1. I have no yard or garden. At all. I can do a dirt box, but should I use "clean" dirt from a gardening center?
2. Also, how long should she be left in there? I know she will want time to settle.
3. And should she be alone, or with Herman?
4. I was thinknig what I could do was put her in the box at night (once she shows signs such as digging). Could I leave her overnight? Would that be peaceful, and long enough, or too long?
All help appreciated
Wow, that was long winded.
Camee recently had a bout with her girl laying eggs. There's a couple of threads on here from the past couple of weeks that you might want to take a look at. It seems the best way is to find somewhere outdoors where you can let her walk around until she finds a suitable spot to lay her eggs. Don't you live across the street from a beach?
That's the great thing about this forum, there's always someone around who can offer good advice, even into the wee hours of the night...(
