Alrighty, it's been anlong time since I was last on here. My iguana is pregnant for the second time. I took her to the vet to make sure and the eggs were very easy to see. Well, even before I took her to the vet, I set up her box with dirt and sand (same as last time) and everything is the same as last time. I rememeber her stop eating for like a month, but she has been eating like a pig this time and now finally has slowed down on the eating. But she is a wild one. She constantly digs in her cage, but not in her box, always wants out and is just plain ol' annoying. I have now changed her substrate in the box to bed-a beast which she likes to dig in but not for very long. Last time everything went so well. Any tips on anything that can settle her down and also, how long is the time from when the eggs start developing to when she lays them? It's been about 8 weeks now since I knew for sure and three since the vet visit. She is now looking to lose a little weight just like last time, but she is just so active and wants out of her cage so bad.
Please if anyone has any tips or anything before I go out of my mind listening to her dig and dig and dig and dig and dig and dig.........
