My female normal seemed to be developing along just fine. Started breeding her back in July, with locks starting to show up in August. She continued to lock up until November, and then she went off-feed and started showing good signs, like bowl-wrapping and generally seeking the cooler side of the tub. In December, she got really big and really bright. I never saw her 'lump up,' but she was a little wider than a soda can. I figured this might have been an ovy, but I wasn't entirely sure. After she got all big and swollen, she seemed to just.. kinda deflate. She shed a few days ago, and it was obvious in her shed that her belly had really gotten big, but she's still off-feed, and she's still showing signs of being gravid (restlessness, warm-seeking, and still really bright.)

I guess what's confusing me is the fact that she appears to have just deflated. Her spine isn't protruding (she hasn't got the triangle shape going on that I've read about is what I'm trying to say) and I don't think I ever saw her tail-suck. Did she reabsorb her follicles? Is she still on the right track?
