Dad gum it! I finally decided that yes, she's gravid, after several years of waiting, and now it's killing me waiting.....

She can't possibly just be that fat!

I separated my 1.2 trio in mid-april and I KNOW both females are gravid.....still waiting.

1.2 adult BRBs (Sango, Copper, Cherry)

1.0 Blue Parrotlet (Willy)
1.0 Orange and White Kitty
1.0 african brown house snake (Nellie)

Every morning when I get up, I go check. Every day when I get home, I go check.

I have two BCI females in the same situation.

AAAAAHHHHH!

I am waiting on seven gravid BRBs. Two of them are over a week overdue. I check on them every hour or two.

I only have three I'm "waiting on" all due in the next week and a half. Also have several others with due dates in mid to late October. At least I'm not checking on them constantly.

All three "due soon" are doppler positive - many lil heart beats found.

On the ones with later due dates, I was not able to detect the lil heartbeats but that was a week or so ago and IMO on the edge of when I'm able to detect them with my equipment/experience.

i think you should check amber in a few days/ week and double check her lol

n/m

If you track sheds, count 117 days from a shed to get a due date (plus or minus a week or even two. That's at 82 degrees gestation, if cooler, will take a bit longer.

Copper is showing like shes gravid, acting like she's gravid, but she's shed three times and still fat!
Hey Dave, do you have a doppler? Do you know how well it work on the snakes?

I do have a doppler but it only really works within a few weeks of birth.

One point people miss is the actual ovulation can occur well after the last mating and the post ovulation shed duh is after ovulation so babies can come much longer than the 3.5 - 4 months from POS. Easily 5 months after last mating.

Yes, and it seems even longer if you don't know those things. She's in an extremely heavy shed right now. I'm gonna post a picture of my BLUE EYE GHOST BRB.

Oh, yeah! I think I got that....
