premature slug

[spoonman]

22 days after my diamonds pre lay shed ive found a slug in her tank by it sel. i thought this would mean she had started laying . but 4 days latter still no eggs. she laid last season with no troubles so hopfully she isn't egg bound. has any one had this happen before

there was a thread on this last season if memory serves me correct. Ive had jungles do the same but they laid the remaining good eggs the next day. I wouldnt be too worried about egg binding at only 26 days after prelay.

maybe get her checked by the vet or ring them up if you don't want to move her. some of my mates also do the massage the belly and place there's in warm bath to help with the laying which normally works a treat and they lay anywhere from straight away to a few hours. if this doesn't work take her to the vet.

As Code said not to worry yet.
Do not massage etc just leave her be for the time being.

I had a coastal lay a slug a week before laying a healthy clutch once, so I wouldn't worry to much.
