I have seen alot of places that say that the gestation period for a female Jackson's is 5-10 months. What kinds of signs will she show prior to birthing other than decreased appetite. Thanks.

My Jackson's had 10 babies yesterday. I didn't notice anything different in her coloring or behavior. I purchased her gravid and had no idea when the babies would be born.
I'm just hoping I can raise them. Some literature states they need a basking spot and others claim they don't. I noticed the babies were congregating under the mother's basking spot. I removed them and gave them a basking spot with a 40watt bulb. There's enough room in their enclosure for them to find cool areas. I don't know if they eat right away but I gave them about 40 pinhead crickets.
