i've got a gravid female veiled (Arcadia), shes been scraching at the bottom of the cage for about 2 days now, and this morning i caught her in the pothos digging it up!
i have placed a 5 gallon bucket half full of coconut fiber bedding mixed with a quart of vermiculate. it is moist/damp enough for a tunnel to be made that stays. i also pulled the pothos up out of its pot and placed it on top of the soil mixture in the bucket, incase she wants to dig under the root ball. (which she appeared to be doing in its pot already)
shes got robin blue spots and lots more orange.
she is in a 100 gallon reptarium with a 75 watt basing bulb and an 8.0 reptasun bulb. plus a big Dripper. although she gets misted as well.
is there anything else i should be doing or add to what i'm offering her now? when do they lay? at nighttime? when will i know if she has laid eggs? her abdomen looks swollen and when i moved her i think i felt the eggs maybe.
this is my first gravid experience and i want to make sure i do things right! thanks everyone for continued support.
