looking at her, and in comparison with the shavings she is on, I would gather that she is somewhere in the 20 - 24 inch range in length, no? She still seems a bit gaunt and, for her sake, would probably benefit from a season of just feeding. I'd assume this is her first year breeding. If that is so, even more reason to hold her back. She will need the fat reserves for when she goes off feed while gravid, the strength to push the eggs out, and a good baseline to get back to for after egg deposit. From what I see, I'd almost guess that she laid eggs a week ago had I not known her status. She's still really thin Tim, but that is just my opinion. Animals look great though! Let's see the other 3 females!
