Just went through a pre-lay shed so .....should have another couple of weeks on this girl

Still waiting on my other females to show something.

No luck with my BHs, but my Olive should lay about the same time as your BH.

Well I'm not going to get excited just yet as she hasn't laid them yet. Going through all the motions though, and looking full. Although not as big as she has been in previous years.We'll see................................
How old are yours?? and good luck with the olives.

Mine are 18mos old, but over 8lbs and 7'. Female is a bit bigger. Male stopped feeding and has not resumed. I know they've been bred at 18 mos, but it's not common. I haven't seen any breeding when I put them together, but who knows what goes on under the paper Other than the Olives, the only thing I think is preggars is my IJ carpet, although my coastals and Jungles have been mating, as have my MacLotts.

I've heard of 18 months as well but only from a handful of people. None of the ones I've obtained have gone in under 4 years, regaurdless of the size.
Males are tough too. Most just don't want to breed. If you are lucky enough to have a good breeder male....he is worth his weight in gold!!!! Hard to come by though. I feel that's why you see so many adults for sale...............................won't breed, In combo with not being cooled enough.
Cheers

I didn't try cooling this year, figured next year was my year. Female is 9.5 lbs...just weighed her. We shall see...eh?
