Leo laying eggs, video. ;)

[BalloonzForU]

I took this video back in mid '07 of one of my girls I caught laying a clutch. This was the first time I saw this, but not the last. It is amazing what the female does. As you can see she is turning the first egg as the video starts and you can also see how wet and and almost mushy it is. After she lays the second egg she also turns it over and over again, almost as if trying to dry it and getting the subtrate (coco fiber) to attach to it. After I stopped the vid I allowed her to burry the eggs and leave the lay box before retrieving the eggs.

You can also actually see her contracting as she gets ready to lay the second egg and the almost dazed behavor.

At first when she was turning the egg it looked like she already had it and was trying to put it back in
