Juliet's still in labor??

[KlCritters]

I had another thread going trying to figure out if my new girl was pregnant and figured I'd start a new thread since we have some new happenings. \
Wednesday I came home from work to find 3 ova in her tank, one looked like she had chewed on it some the other two were untouched. That evening at 8:45 she delivered another ova and then ate a few heaping tablespoons of food. When I had gotten home and found the ova I also noticed she was very antsy and going all over the tank and breathing is more labored. She continued to act like this while taking a few small naps but would get up and start pacing again. She did this until around 10:45 and finally settled so we turned the lights out. The next morning (yesterday, Thursday) she woke up and started the same actions. I went to work and came home on my lunch break to find no progress and an antsy skink. I went back to work and got home yesterday evening and STILL nothing had happened. I watched her pace though the evening and she finally settled around 930 last night and we turned the lights out.
Now it's Friday, I'm at work and won't be home until around 530 and I'm praying that she's made some kind of progress.
I'm wondering if I should be concerned that there has been no progress since the first slugs on Wednesday? Is there anything I need to do to help her along, I know shes a lizard and its built into her to know what to do but with no progress at all yesterday I'm getting concerned.
Any advice is appreciated!

the process of having slugs can often occur over a week or 2,theres every chance shes dropped a couple when you arent about,often they eat them straight after dropping them so you can be none the wiser thay they have in fact dropped slugs

if they are struggling to get them all out you should see the female trying to push them out,your description doesnt sound like that

ok it's been a week and a day since I found the slugs. She's still fat, still paces, still wants to eat daily, and still basks. It seems like she stays in her log a little more then last week and she's a little less antsy but I haven't seen any changes since then. This is driving me crazy, I just want this to be over and know if we have babies or just slugs or what and I want my sweet girl to be comfortable again.

i think she sounds like shes done,females can hold there anstyness for months after finishing up,if she had a litter of slugs and ate a few its common for them to still look quite solid,the fact shes eating ect sounds good to,a tell rale sign for females not done is they will often try pushing more out here and there

Does that mean there will be no babies for Juliet this year Richard?

[Richard.C]

without seeing the lizard firsthand all one can do is guess,but im leaning towards no babies this year,no

usually with slugs they come after live babies or between them,if birthing process gets delayed, by a week or more,usually from my experience anyways that if babies do come they are generally still borns,some having died late term due to delays from struggling to pass yolk masses perhaps

i had a couple do this last season,i didnt see any slugs, but had healthy babies and a possable still born from one lass,then 2 weeks later she squeezed out a still born baby in front of me,thats actually on my utube page,another still born was found fresh a month or so after they had all dropped last season,im not sure whom belonged to that one,but it wasnt the 2 week gap one as she was indoora still with another that had dropped

with the 2 week gap one,she was still pushing on and off during that time between first babies and the still born 2 weeks later,it was quite evident she wasnt done,still showing laboured breathing to

Thanks Richard, I've been so busy I haven't had time to log in for a while. Yea I'm kinda starting to decide that she may be done aswell. She is tolerating my interaction a lot more, and being less active, still breathing kinda heavy but not all the time.
Aw my sweet girl, all that stress for nothing.
So what do I do from here? She's still huge! Should I feed her less?
Also I am wanting to breed her this upcoming season (unless it would be better to let her rest after all this and try the following season). Is there anything special I need to do to get her ready like extra calcium?
I picked up a few frozen mouse fuzzies (whatever the size up from pinkie is) so I think I'll offer Juliet and Romeo one tonight to see if they would like it as a treat.

[Richard.C]

If her weights good she should be fine to try again next season,her calcium intake should only need to be normal,with no baby development there wasnt anything sapping her calcium,but i guess it doesnt hurt giving females a bit extra if babies are a possability of being developed in the near future,personally my females just get treated the same as males in that regard,usually though the females are more into bilking up on the tucker,but the odd male does to
