Your absolutely right. There is all manner of stuff said on the internet. A whole segment of folks who read it yesterday and teach what they read today(like in a class at school)

How do you figure out good from bad? Easy, ask questions, just like you would do when interviewing a possible doctor or vet, and anyone who you need to trust.

Because we cannot examine your king, you have to provide real and accurate information. Even pictures.

For instance, while your female may be gravid, it is a little early for that to be normal. So some evidence that she is gravid would help. Did you palpate for eggs, its very easy to do and easy to learn.

Did you see copulation, as that would give you/us an idea when the eggs will be laid. Did she have a pre egg laying shed. That is very important and its very very rare that a king lays without shedding.

ALso, to determine what to do, make sure those responding ASK the right questions. Best wishes
