Hi all.

I posted a few pix yesterday. And a while ago alan asked me to post a pic of the female. I finally got a nice one of her.

I am curious if she is already gravid. I look at the male and femal. She is a touch smaller than he is. However I held both of them in each hand yesterday and she is quite a bit "heavier"..if anything more solid.

I am not sure if that is just the nature of the feamle or if she is indeed gravid.

AS far as her daily routine goes...she sits on one branch most of the day..just out of the hot spot. She eats a ton! More than the male..usually about 4 or more crix a day than he eats.

She has only lightenend up a few times, usually stays kinda splotchy. Not a stressed splotchy, but a very chamo splotchy.

Not sure if that really helps anybody here, but any help would be appreciated.

She is about to go into shed as well....

the colors sound right but she should be moving around if she isn't very far into her pregnacy. i would take her to a vet just to ensure that she will be healthy for the "dropping" later in the year(or next year) does she now run from the male?..that might mean she is gravid also.

as the vet about over feeding becuase that can cause complecations also
