How long is typical gestation in Eastern Indigos???

I am not sure about coupero but I think it takes awhile. It's been close to 80 days for my Cribo and I think she has about 7-10 days longer......It is a long time...

I have seen female D. couperi begin oviposition after as few as 60 days post copulation and as many as 132 days post copulation. There is no hard and fast rule to this regard.
Keep watch for pre-oviposition ecdysis, which will indicate oviposition is only 7-14 days away. Also, most females will begin rooting about their enclosure, in search of a nesting site after pre-oviposition ecdysis. It is beneficial to place a nesting box into the enclosure when yuo notice teh female entering ecdysis, if you have not already done so...

Good luck,

Jeff

The Texan I bought from Dean is very blue right now. She copulated on Nov 25, so she is on track for 90-100 days, which seems to be average.

I need a Xanax.

My Eastern was on the 26th of November. She seems on track. Lay box is going in today and the incubator has been on for a week. She stopped eating two weeks ago.

I wish you good luck Mike.

I need some Rogaine…..
