do females gain heavy weight before laying?

It does depend on how much you feed them and how much they eat.
I generally try to feed heavy starting about a month before breeding season. Watch the tail. It will balloon up as they gain weight. They need this weight as the egg laying process can take quite a bit out of the females.
