Still nothing, Cherry, a female I bought from Dave 3 years back now is gravid for the first time since he last bred her. She's super fat and a couple times a week will seem to get into position and will have a lot of her "weight" pushed towards her cloaca. The first time it turned out to be excrement, the second, nothing. Both of my females have been moving around the cage a lot in the last three days. I tried feeding them small rats on Wednesday, Copper ate one but Cherry just fiddled with it.
The trouble is that it has been 148 days since I introduced the male to Cherry and Copper and I had never seen any copulation. They were separated around April 15th. So that would put me out to the very end of August if they bred late.

So I COULD still be waiting a while, but Cherry seems especially close, Copper never really puts on much weight or shows much when she has babies in her, and her litters tend to be small, her first was 7 live and 6 slugs, her last litter was 4 live and 8 slugs.

I've gotten to the point where I know it will happen sometime, I'm just not planning on going out of town anytime soon.
