Yeah theyr'e slugs mate, totally useless.

Wait for her to squeeze them all out then bin them, she shouldnt have any trouble as she's a fair sized girl.

11 eggs total, it doesnt look like theres any more and she looks a bit skinny now. when do i try a feed? i dont want to do it too soon as i imagine she`s worn out and may not keep it down

also how often will she lay eggs if kept "virgin"

In both mine and lee's experience, if they do it once they will do it again.

As Lee said, you want her eating soon. Check tomorrow that she has laid them all, if she has, offer prey smaller that you would normaly and work your way back up.

I would be surprised if she doubles, not being with a male usually means just the one clutch.

she seems to be doing ok so far, hasn`t left her hide as far as i know.

i gave her a small mouse on friday and another one today which she snapped up, but i`ve just had a brainwave - i`ve got nutrobal here from before raven disappeared it says its a high calcium balancer. would it be of any use in this situation?

you could try dipping the mouse's bum in the Nutrobal - that's usually the last bit of mouse to go down so shouldn't put her off eating it

i can't remember how long you've had her (baby-brain moment lol) is it possible she's been in with a male before you got her? i paired my corns for 2 weeks in Feb and only just got a clutch from one of the girls when i'd given up hope!

no chance GP, i got her from south coast exotics in march last year, she was at a guess around 3-4 months old

this is from that week - ET small hide


i`ve weighed the 11 eggs and they totaled 43 grams, liquid is way down to 180
