Well we got home yesterday and no babies yet. But last night she started to do more draping on things and when she would drape it wouldnt be for long cause there was more constant moving. She would move around the tank and suddenly stop with her neck extended and almost like she would freeze. when she would do that it would be for a couple minutes at a time. I put a new hide in there which she likes. she still is drinking but no eating still sence right before her shed. She likes to dig around in the tank a lot. that part isnt anything new but had to tell ya anyway. Do you think these things happening more often means its closer to time. Man , I want her to have her babies soon but Im hoping taht it isnt till after our trip. Thankfully our little trip is only a day. How long will they be acting weird before the babies come. Im so excited to see what the babies will look like. What colors? How much of those colors? Yay... cant wait.

Id also like to say again thank you alll for helping out soo much . I have learned so much stuff from this forum and I love it.

I have another question about hides. I know I can use the shell part to a coconut but I was wwondering ....
1) what would be the best way to open it with out losing the milk, and messing up the shell.
2) do i need to do anything to the shell before putting it in there. please help

my mom said I can use a hammer and nail to open it but I havent had fresh cocnut since I was a kid so I dont know much about the opening process exspecailly since I want to keep the shell.
