Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians!
Thanks!
Anyone do anything fun today? I know we can’t really go out but did you do anything fun at home?
I stayed home, and it was just a normal day most of the day. My gecko decided to lay her first ever clutch of eggs today, so that’s all that I celebrated today
Well eggs are exiting. Nothing special for me either. We normally have a big celebration at the marina with fireworks at night, but it was all cancelled. My two oldest kids worked today and my youngest went to her friends house for a BBQ and some fireworks. So basically the only thing I did today was drive people around.
They’re infertile eggs, as she’s never been bred with But it’s her first time and a lot could’ve gone wrong, but everything went perfectly.
Yeah everything here was canceled too. Some neighborhood people had fireworks so we did a bit of training with the puppy, but other than that we did nothing holiday related.
Pics of the eggs cause they’re too adorable
That is so neat. Did you actually get to see her lay them?
One of my dogs is terrified of storms and fireworks so she’s a basket case tonight with all the neighbourhood fireworks going off.
For the last few days she’s been digging constantly so I figured she was getting close. Then earlier this evening I noticed her head sticking out of one of the holes. When I checked back on her later she had left the hole and she looked skinnier. I weighed her and she had lost a few grams so I started digging for eggs
Yeah, I can imagine. One of mine freaks out really bad but the puppy is fine with them. But he’s training to be a service dog and he’s been trained to be calm through loud noises, storms, sirens etc.
So she buries herself to lay the eggs? I was picturing that she layed them then buried them.
Yeah they dig a hole, crawl in it, lay the eggs and then bury them! Edit to add: reptile eggs can’t be rotated generally after being laid and if she buried them after it would be more likely for them to roll so would be riskier
Also I didn’t mean for this to become me talking about my gecko forever
