I have a 50% poss. het albino that had a due date of March 13 and the whole time has looked gravid.She was bred by my male albino.She swelled 3 times and right after the third time went into a long shed cycle.Yesterday I noticed she has no visable signs of being gravid.What happened? I combed through her bedding and found nothing not even a wet spot!I have been pacing the floor for 2 weeks and now this.This is my first breeding attempt,did I do something wrong?She no longer lays on the heat like she has been for the last 3 months.I have attached a pic of what I believe was her ovulation,sorry about the angle,I didnt want to disturb her.

Unfortunately, I have a female that has done that to me the past two years, looks to be gravid, then nothing. Watch close a couple more days though, many times they will come off the heat right before dropping. Craig

Did your female have babies the last 2 years eventually or nothing?Thanks for the reply!JOHN

She had nothing, but other females have looked like they were going to have nothing and did drop babies. Craig
