Lower temps, lower temps, and keep pairing. Try to get your night time temps around 68-70. Lower your day time basking temp to about 86-88.....93 is TOO HOT. Keep pairing them. If your female is feeding like you say, she is not gravid.

Read the breeding section of your book again, and when you are done, read it again. Keep pairing them until you see no interest and your female stops feeding. Once she stops, be watching for her to ovulate a few weeks later. You'll notice this by her constant shifting on the perch and looking like she just ate a huge meal. The swelling will subside in 24-48 hours.

Here is a series of pics of my most recent ovulation.

11/20/08 Showing typical "pale" look with "flattened" head.


11/26/08 Slightly bloated look. And beginning to "roll" her sides.


12/1/08 Full on ovulation. Constant shifting, uncomfortable appearance, and HUGE mid-body swelling.




Keep pairing, lower temps, and good luck.
