HAHAHA!,...Joe, your little girl's albino triangulum tattoo is just too darn cute!..LOL!.....that's a good one man!


Ya know, that Black looks pretty evenly proportioned, and thick throughout, but doesn't really seem to be towards the latter third, at least not yet anyway. I don't know when you first witnessed the mating, but females usually start showing pretty well after about 3 weeks or so. Pick it up and try to get it to relax a bit and let it dangle and look at it from the SIDE, or even manually stretch her out, and look for her to abruptly start thickening just after her her mid body area on down from the side view, this should give you another good indication as well. Many times, you can make out individual lumps from the side pretty well.

Towards the end, the eggs tend to move further down some towards the cloaca.

If you really can't discern any conclusive thickening, or egg lumps at this point,.....throw the male back in with her for a while, and see if she refuses him and continually bucks him off. This is usually another good indication that she is already gravid.


Good luck!, ~Doug
