We took Georgie to the vets today for a check up and they gave her a calcium injection. Tonight she has finally laid 26 eggs in total! Now she looks like a rake. She's been going mad for weeks. Lots of food now!

Congratulations!! How long will it take for the eggs to hatch??

they aren't fertile so these wont hatch. but apparently incubation period is 90-120 days. imagine if they were all fertile and all hatched 26 little iggys running about? arghh!

26 little iggys,, Yikes thats a scary thought, lol. I am glad all is working out well with her

Glad the wait is over! They do look horrendous after laying don't they!
It would be a good idea to have her X-rayed to insure that all of the eggs were laid and none were retained to cause trouble later on.

yeh she looks awful! Looks like she is an empty sack, really deflated! It would be heart breaking if u didnt know that she has just laid.
She's alert and fairly active, mind, nowhere near what she has been recently!! eating and drinking ok.
I spoke to the vet and he seems confident that all has gone well. Just have to keep a close eye on her and if there is anything I dont feel right with then get her there.

What relief, huh? I'd like to see a picture of an iguana just after laying.

Keep us posted on how she's recovering.
