I've noticed if I keep my eye on my female, she's constantly moving, either in a circle very slowly or kind of puffing up in certain parts of her body. She looks almost like she's wiggling in place. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

all the movements she's making are very slow, nothing sudden.
and she will tell you being pregnant can be pretty uncomfortable, I know when my wife was pregnant our little one was a track star in her belly. Can you imagine how that would feel with just one but to have 15 maybe 40 doing that would drive me NUTS!!!
Your girl knows best and she is probably finding the best posistion for the little ones. When is she due?
Females and women are absolutely amazing!

That's the problem, I don't know when she's due. Her last shed was hidden underneath her for who knows how long. I never wanted to disturb her so I cleaned around her and didn't try to move her, she hasn't left her heat spot in a few months now.
When did you "find" the shed. Using that day to calculate her due date would likely be past actual but at least it's something....

And I have females that never gave me a POS...still do my best to calculate a due date from Ovulation etc. Sometimes it's nothing more than a guess based on noted breeding activity!!!!

I found her shed about a month ago, it was pretty torn up and stiff from her being on it so I'm sure it was there for a while before I found it
