It only took my blue bar ambilobe female about 1.5-2 weeks to display gravid colors but she has finally got it. I knew she was gravid before she displayed these colors due to the fact that she slowed up her food intake, started to get plump, gained several grams in a short period of time, started to wander her cage more then what she used to, and was spending most of her day basking. I was just worried about her because she never displayed the gravid colors until 1.5-2 weeks after she showed signs other then color that she was gravid. The eggs are infertile because she was never bred but none the less it was a big sigh of relief for me when the one day I was weighing them and she caught sight of the male and wanted to rip his head off, that was the first day she displayed these gravid colors, then I knew for sure she truly was gravid. She still is very young too only being 7.5 months old it was at the same time a little shocking that she was already going to lay at such a young age. Well now all I have to do is keep everyone posted as to when she lays the eggs. She currently has stopped all food intake so it should be sometime soon.

Good luck with her! Keep us posted.
