Made the most of that most rare of occurrences, the UK sun and snapped a few pics of some of the corns
Arya
Tyrion
Falcor
Loki
Alaska, looking a little on the slim side here as she'd laid a clutch of eggs a few weeks previously. She actually laid on Easter Sunday so I have Easter eggs 
Ofelia, I've recently been through hell with this girl. After taking these pics I felt eggs in her and the following day she began to lay a clutch of slugs, 2 proved difficult for her to pass, it took her 3 weeks for her to pass the last one. Thankfully she's feeding brilliantly now she's finished and none the worse for the ordeal

I actually like Arya as she is, at least she's a bit different :-)
That is what whas recommended to me by a friend that's had years and years of breeding experience. I tried her with a fuzzy after her postlay shed and funnily enough the last slug to be laid was where she pooped so I do think it definitely got things moving.
Certainly saved the stress of a vets visit and God only knows what procedure.
Hearing Kellogs experiences also helped ease my mind a little |

They very rarely want to feed when gravid because of the discomfort pooping causes when they're full of eggs
I remember the relief when I saw Maggie had finished laying her slugs
Ophelia is so pretty, as is Falcor |

Arya is a Hypo Diffused although her diffusion isn't great.
Ofelia really does have a unique little face doesn't she bless her, looks so forlorn at times. I honestly can't describe the relief of finding that last slug, picked her up, gave her a cuddle and cried my eyes out I was so happy haha 
Thankyou |

So beautiful, what morph is Arya, she seems so bright?
Poor Ophelia, I have really soft spot for her, she has the sweetest face, and always looks almost bashful, lol. I'm glad she's recovering well, though.
All the others are looking fantastic, too, as always :-) |
