Am I jumping the gun here?

kksaito May 10, 2008 11:40 AM

A while back, I was here trying to get my boys and girls to unite. I tried many things and even got kicked in the mouth by aq few for dropping my temps to an all time low.

They finally found each other and snuggled but I never saw actual copulation.

I fed my girls larget items weekly with high hopes. They grew and at time was hard to tell if it was the food or if they were infact gravid. I threw a moss lined box in the cages, again with high hopes.

Last night while feeding my niggest girl was in mid shed but accepted a rat. I thought nothing of it. I went in this morning to collect the skin and found this below.

What are the chances she is effing with me?

yes, niggest is a real word...means nicest and biggest...I attended to public schools in So Central LA...what do you expect?

Chances are good she's "effing" with you. Female will usually go off feed around 30 days prior to ovulating. Once ovulation occurs, they are gravid. Egg deposition usually occurs around 35-50 days after ovulation and 15-28 days after pre-lay shed. Most females will also take on a blueish color and the head will appear flattened at the lobes. If given a nest box to hide in, males and females will take refuge. It's just a place for them to hide. Good luck.

She has never turned down a meal(including pre-shed)except recently and until yesterday. The only thing that gives my a bit of hope is that she never ventured to the ground before and entered the box only after she shed....the box was placed there 3 weeks prior.

At 41, my wife's stomach is as big as all get out and there are ultra-sound prints that indicate a fetus of around 5 months...what are the chances that she is effing with me?

How long ago did your wife have her prelay shed?

Congratulations to you and your wife.

I dont know..I always run out of the room when I think it's coming.

Thank you for that. Sorry to hear of your loss.
