Was she mated or are you wondering about infertile clutch? I cannot speak to graceful's but Luna stops eating, wants out of her cage and begins to wander abit more. If you think she is gravid and she is backing off from food be sure she gets her calcium. Luna has never been bred but has had 3 clutches and I thin she is deveoping another (UGH!). Once she goes off food I give her Neo-Calglucon (liquid calcium) which you should be able to get from your vet (not expensive). The dose is by weight.



They can do a certain amount of lateral flattening but if you look at her from the top or bottom you would still see fullness near her hind legs. If you go to the gallery and look under my username (lele) you can see a before and after photo of her.



Having a proper laying bin is really important. There are some articles on ChamNews and adcham.



Hope this helps and please ask questions. I think a few folks here have experience with graceful's so you may want to post her species in any posts.
