    Do these females look gravid or whats going on?

    I have bred my females multiple times in november and december and am still pairing them. They have locked at least 3 times each that I have seen. Now my females look swollen and lumpy. 2 of them just shed and another is in shed as I speak and I did not witness any ovulations. Does this mean they are building or gravid or what? Opinions please. I posted something before but got no definitive answers. The pictures are below. Thanks

    Yeah, they look gravid to me! You can see how the bottom 2/3rds of their bodies are real swollen. Here's a recent pic of my gravid female for your comparison:

    To which one are you refering to and how do you figure. They are happy, healthy, and have clean water at all times.

    Yea I def don't see any dehydration. They look like mommas to be to me. And they look great btw. From cooling to egg lay I go nuts with worrying about mine. I'm sure they will produce great Babies for you. Good luck!

    They look fine to me as well. I'd say that dark one definitely looks gravid, her bottom 2/3rds are thick!
