Dumeril gestation question

pound May 16, 2003 12:35 PM

maybe it would help if i post this on the new forum. oops.

hello all, i've been MIA for a while, but have been keeping my fingers crossed on my first breeding project.

my only question at this point is, how many months/days should i expect either slugs or little ones after the post ovulation shed?

while doing research, i've come across many different time frames, so i don't know what to believe or how different Dums are compated to BCI's.

thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Jason!

At least I know that the research I had done WAS correct. I was reading 4 months, 7 months… 9 months… etc… but I wasn’t too sure if where these reports were counting/starting from.

Well, I guess I will just have to hold my breath to the end of the year!
