lizardman72 Mar 21, 2008 09:38 AM

i have a female 66% het albino that i bred to my male albino. she was due march 10th give or take a couple days, but here i am march 21st and still no babies. the mother has not eaten in months and is still huge, i mean there is no mistaking that she is pregnant. there is a distinct bulge and she has been on the heat almost 100% of the time. how long have you guys seen girls go past their due dates? could there be something wrong? thanks

I mist the cage heavily on due dates, makes them think its the rainy season , and they drop like clockwork. Mine last was almost a week late.

Remember its alwasy a guess off of POS, some females hold longer than others.

>>0.1 Spouse
>>1.0.1 Child

the 0.1 Spouse is gravid, cause if you can't accurately sex the 1.0.1 Child, then your sexing skills are seriously lacking!!!! For the Child, simply seperate the "spurs" and look, no popping, palpating or probing necessary. If need be, compare to the known male child.

Congrats man, when is your wife due??
