Well I have had an eventful afternoon today. The two leos have given me grief. Tilly has been acting a little odd over the last couple of days and it was starting to worry me. Well she worried me even more this afternoon when we discover she has laid eggs  and was trying to eat her sister Belle  . So luckily I had a spare viv but not a stat so off to the local pet shop we go. They had not got a single stat. So off to Bury St Edmunds we go to get a stat, Pets at Home had none either. I was getting very stressed now, next pet shop has a stat, it cost me £60  I almost keeled over at that point. Any way Belle now has own viv and Tilly has stopped patroling her viv looking for someone to eat. The eggs she laid were slugs and she now looks a tiny little leo. I'm guessing that they will now live apart from each other despite supposedly having been together since hatching. |

Aww thank you! When I went to take them photos Indy was spooked by a noise behind me and Hendrix is like a small child she knows when the flash is coming so she shuts her eyes! Hence the slightly oriental look (what I think) hehe! |

These are our first leos so we are on a learning curve. When we first got our skinks they were together and the person we bought them off said they were fine living together. Well just a week after getting them one tried to eat the other and now with this happening with the leos I'm begining to think they are best kept alone. Having had this happen twice I don't think I will ever have any lizards living together regardless of what their previous owners claim. Better to be safe than sorry I think.
Starmist I just love the pics of your two cats in your sig. They both have amazing expressions on their faces, especially Indy  |

What a day for you! And I thought my day was stressful because I had a pile of paperwork nearly as tall as me! Lol. Poor little Bella though I think I would be quite annoyed if my sister tried to eat me! :( |

To be honest I guess it was probably more stressful for the two leos especially Belle. Having your sister trying to eat you then being seperated and put in a strange viv, I feel really sorry for her :( |

Blimey! I didn't know that leo's could lay without breeding, and I kept them for 8+ years!
Just to be sure, have a look at this to make sure they are both female...

Edit - A quick check turns out they can lay without mating. You learn something new every day... |
