Is she gravid yet?

stevebp Jan 25, 2007 11:48 PM

I have a female that has 11 lock ups that I personally witnessed from september thru january.She's huge but still willing to breed with my males, my question is will a female that have been bred multiple times always lay with the lower half inverted if she is gravid.My female has yet to do this behavior but still growing in girth.Thanks

I have not witnessed ovulation but I think that she does have follicular development.She has really put on some girth.

Do you have a scale to weigh her? Kepe an eye on her weight and see what happens. If she keeps getting bigger then i am probably pretty sure she will be having little ones! Good luck hope evrything ends up good!

I have two or three females that never lay inverted and pop out eggs for me every time I breed them (every other year usually, sometimes longer). If they've had that many lock-ups there's a very good chance she's gravid and that you will have eggs soon.
