Hi,



I have a 10 year old female that went off feed in early Oct. She also shed in early Sep 08' and copulated in Sep and ended in Nov.



I have never witnessed ovulation.



Having not eaten in months she is the same weight as she was in Oct and stays in the hot spot (mid to upper 80s)all the time.



She is now in pre-shed.



Question: what is the possibility that she is gravid based on the info above? Im guessing she would not need to shed due to the fact that she is mature and has not eaten for some time. The time frame between copulation and now makes me wonder about sperm retention possibilities.



Should I start to make my baby rack now?



Signed,



Wishful
