Is She Gravid?

mackdaddy81 Feb 10, 2006 10:44 PM

She has been gaining a lot of weight but she hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. She is not loosing any weight in the tail area but she's gained a ton in stomach. I can't she any eggs through the skin on her belly. She also has been staying in her humid hide 24/7 and she is not eating. Any ideas or suggestions. Oh, and I do have a male in the tank with her. Thanks!

The last picture in the first post looks like she may have at least one egg on her right side.

Look at this picture and compare it to her tummy.

Although mine look way bigger when they are gravid, she is showing the tall tale signs of being gravid. I would say that she is prabably going to lay soon. If she has been digging in her moist hiide at all then she should be due any day now. Make sure to have the incubator running and set up so you can take them straight in. Congrats and good luck!

Thank You so much everyone! I am going out today to get a water heater to make an icubator out of my old aquarium. One more quick question, what are the signs that I should look for next time to find out if she is gravid or not? Thanks Again!
