#2272515 Yaksha View Profile	Change in behaviour ? I have had my Rudi for 6 years, always with 2ft or more substrate, he/she has never bothered with the soil in the past, usually like to stay in the upper portion of its cage, the last week however he/she has been digging all over the place, what could explain this change in behaviour after 6 years? re-checked the temps/humidity and they have no changed...

#2272519 Yaksha View Profile	Message To: Rudiman   In reference to Message Id: 2272518  Change in behaviour ? there has been no weight gain or anything, so i doubt eggs, i just thought it was weird after 6 years of climbing around to suddenly start digging

#2273567 Norf View Profile	Message To: Yaksha   In reference to Message Id: 2273509  Change in behaviour ? 6 year old female? Never laid infertile eggs? Unless you just haven’t dug around looking for eggs, I’d say male based off that.

#2273571 Yaksha View Profile	Message To: Norf   In reference to Message Id: 2273567  Change in behaviour ? my rudi only recently started digging in his enclosure, but just digs holes never any tunnels or anything and there is 2ft of substrate.. normally it stays in the top half of his enclosure.. but he wont bulk up like males tend to so i am not sure

#2273631 Krusty View Profile	Message To: Yaksha   In reference to Message Id: 2273571  Change in behaviour ? It would not surprise me at all that a 6 year old Monitor suddenly drops eggs. They all don’t drop them at 10 months of age and certainly not if you don’t "push" them as much. Keep an eye on ?her? and let us know. Belly swollen???

#2273986 Rudiman View Profile	Message To: Yaksha   In reference to Message Id: 2273701  Change in behaviour ? I would just keep an I on "it". Maybe he/she is looking for more humidity. Or any left over insects in the substrate. Scott
