Another breeding question

gypsy1dragon May 29, 2008 07:09 PM

I put my 2 pairs together about 4 times, the last time was approx the 12th of May. The last confirmed hookup was 5/3/08. She has been totally tearing up her cage and shed about 4 days ago. The think is she does look thicker than her normal,but to me doesn't look all that much bigger, I was even questioning if she is gravid. But what I was just reading on earlier posts, sounds like this behavior is pre-laying behavior.

This is my first attempt to breed them, what do you guys think?

It sounds like she's going to lay in the next few days!

good luck!, ~Doug

YIKES! I have been working 16 hour days, just checked her this morning. I don't have a box in there for her yet. I hope she will be okay until I get home. Hopefully I'll have time to get her set up tomorrow. Thanks.

I always put the nest box in when the blue phase starts. Even if im not sure 100% about the female being gravid.
