is my female gravid?

ryankelly May 25, 2003 12:10 PM

This is my first time breeding my leos and so far its been 2 and half weeks since they mated. i thought that by now she would have laid her first clutch. Can someone please look a the picture and tell me if she's even gravid. it looks like there are two eggs there to me i just want someone elses opinion. thanks

Could still be a few more weeks until she lays, mine take up to 5 weeks to lay.
But if this is her first year breeding dont be suprised if the eggs are infertile.
Good luck!
And congratulations

I think she is because of the way her belly looks like. But you have to lift her and look through her skin in the abdominal are, if she is it is easy to tell. Eggs can be seen through their skin.

Looks gravid to me they can take up to like 4 to 5 weeks to lay their first clutch of eggs. i have a female that has been bred now for like 5 weeks and she hasn't laid anything but i see the eggs in her stomach and they are big now and i know it will be soon...Try putting a box like a little glad ware container filled with like the forest bed or something like that holds moisture and see if she will lay them. she looks quite plumb for a leo in the stomach area...good luck though
