here's a pic taken yesterday of my applegate special female. I bred her x my "anerythristic" (actually hypoerythristic) pyro male. She's just starting to show she's gravid.

yours is a beautiful female.

mine was around 200 grams much of last year but double clutched unintentionally (how DO you stop an animal? i tend to think nature's imperatives exceed our efforts at control, for the most part)

anyway, after laying a 2nd clutch (slugs) last year she was very skinny and never recovered. She came out of brumation this year at 147 grams. It looks like she weighed about 242 grams when she started breeding a few days ago (at least that was her first observed cop). Obviously she had gotten her appetite back.
