gravid female

agirlnamedrita Feb 29, 2008 12:54 PM

I have a question....she stays in her cool side hide ALL the time...but it is small...bot her hides are kinda snug...where is she most likely to lay her eggs?...and should we put something else in there for her to lay them in?...or should we just remove her hides?

If she is gravid she likely wouldn't be laying on the cold side all the time - they tend to retreat to the hot spot after ovulation. Sounds to me like she is either building follicles or you need to double check your temps. But yeah you can take out the hides - I do and they lay them right over the heat.

Good luck!

she is VERY thick and hasn't eaten in a bit...the has went to the bathroom so i don't think she is contipated or nothing and there are "lumps" if she is making follicles should we put her back in with the male?
