I've noticed my male and female breeding for the last week and a half, over the last 4-5 days, my male has backed off. My question concerns the female (B/W phase) She seems thin to me and hasnt eaten since I've acquired her in(Jan) she has come out of hibernation fine. Do females normally eat after mating prior to dropping the eggs? My 3/4 female never did last year, but her body weight was fine while gravid. Im starting to get a little nervous. Physically she seems fine, I havent pressured her to eat, nor have I tried to feed her in her cage, (I maintain a separate feeding cage) so stage fright might be an issue. I will post a fresh pic shortly if this issue persists. My male hasnt fed either since coming out of hibernation, but he looks awesome so Im not worried for him in the least. In the meantime, the temps are up, she is active and continuing to grow skinnier. Any input would be like gold. Thank you, Brad

And my 3/4 female on the bottom is feeding like a monster so far, my male is with her right now but so far no action. I think he might be tired after working on that young thing for the last few weeks.
