gravid females

herman63 Feb 04, 2009 05:59 PM

This maybe a stupid question but i have to ask.

If a female is gravid is it meaning for the most part they have bred with a male?

So if you bought WC gravid female you don't need a male?

Thanks, Herman

Yes, a gravid female would have eggs developing inside of her. Hopefully you realize that the WC means wild caught female and you might have to deal with all kinds of mites and paracites and problems that come along with a WC animal that is shipped from africa.

Thank you, I do understand the problems just wanted to make sure I was thinking right.

I would not take those problems on as a beginner.

Thanks, Herman

W.C balls do not have mites.
Mites are not native to Africa....
