snakito Nov 15, 2003 02:17 PM

ok i have seen my famel and male locked up for awhile on and off but now she is starting to get darker like she always does before she starts a shed cycle. my question is would they still be mating if she is already gravid and i just missed her ovulating some how? or is she not gravid and shes just shedding for some reason??? alll opinions helpfull thank you in advance.

ps. they have been together for i think a lil over a month now dont rember my memory sux and i forgot to write down when i did. oh and i took them apart for 4 days somewhere in there

You need to keep breeding them for a few more months..........I don't stop until the end of March.............and I started about when you did...............let them "lock up" a bunch of times....relax.....

I doubt that she is ovulating........they have only been breeding a month...........she would swell before her pre-lay shed.........

It's too early and too fast......rest them one or two days a week to feed and clean...........and keep them together the rest of the time........KEEP BREEDING!!

Good luck

Ralph
