aestivation

[monster]

Aestivation is not mandatory, some people try really hard to not let this happen because its always a gamble if they will come out of it in good conditions if at all. Is it a male or female that your getting? after they estivate they have 2 things on there mind, food and makeing babies. So if its a female she will come up egg bound more then likely and if you dont have a male to mate with her she may not drop her eggs, and if she doesnt absorb them it will more then likely die. I have been lucky with my females that they have absorb them but I will be honest and say everytime they come up I'm biting my nails worrying if they are going to or not, its very stressfull.
