I'm kinda a noobie on breeding cresteds and was wondering how you know when a female is gravid.

depending on the color morph of the female you can see them very easily on reds and oranges in my experience. i have an orange female that you can see them in 10 days after they copulate.

sometimes you can see a bulge between the back legs and where the legs rest against the body. within 5 days of hatching you can usually feel the eggs as well.

within 5 days of laying, not hatching.
