Aggressive feeder now not feeding?

Oh my god. She just layed an egg. It looks fertile. Oh my god I'm freaking out so much. I didn't check which way was up or down, I don't know what to do. Please help me!

Get a laying box in with her as soon as possible. Having gone off her food, indicates that she didn't have room inside her for food. That points to her possibly having a full clutch inside. If she can't find somewhere suitable to lay, she risks holding onto the clutch and becoming eggbound.

The eggs aren't your main concern at the moment, but making sure the female doesn't get eggbound, is.

As in your other thread, an hour with a male of any age is enough to make a female produce eggs.

Called it!!!

So- infertile eggs from virgin snakes can LOOK fertile. Even if you think they are not, or are sure they are not, she needs a laybox so she will settle down into it and feel comfortable laying the rest of the clutch. Often, a female will only lay one or two infertile eggs.

I didn't used to be able to palpate eggs, especially slugs, so don't feel badly about missing it. Or maybe that was the lump you felt!
