Hello,

Since appr. 8 years I have basins. Now I have 1 couple proven and 1.3 own offspring. They are 4 years old and appr. 2 - 2,2 kg. They were kept in the same terrariums these 4 years. I rearranged the terrariums 2 weeks ago and today I saw suddenly that 1 female (4 years old) has a doublesize part in the middle of her body. First I thought it might have to do with defecation and I took her out to stimulate that. But the place - in the middle of her body - could hardly be constipation. So I carefully felt her body. It appeared that she has 8 - 12 follikels. Is that possible when she has never been with a male? And should I put her with a male?


If I don't want to breed her now, is it possible that the female will get
unfertilzed slugs?
But if I would breed with her now now, would that be bad for her, with her
weight of only appr. 2 kg?

Many thanks,
