    Question acting really ODD!!

    I'm really doubting this to even be true but I got to ask a few questions.

    First I will tell you what is going on. As you all have seen Pandora has well turned in to Ms. Chunky Monkey. I paired her with Freebe just to see if anything would work out and I saw some locks but nothing for 24 hours. They would move around, lock up, move around, lock up and so on. nothing promising. the longest lock I saw was for almost 4 hours.

    Pandora Loves to be nice and warm, she will move back and forth from hot to cool, but she stay mostly on the warm. Temps are spot on and I have the humidity up for sheding between 58 and 60%. So I go and check the humidity and pandora is coiled around the water dish. she has been there ALL DAY! I checked on her just a few min ago and she drug the water bowl to the cool side and is coiled again. I cant feel anything in her but I dont know what is wrong. Should I take her to the vet?

    Also what should I be feeling for if I should be feeling for something in the first place?

    sounds like you might have a success, but what was her weight before you introduced your male to her?

    Well at the time of breeding my old scale said 1516. well that was wrong. (the hubby steped on the scale and broke it so I had to get a new one.) when i got my new scale is read 1380+ from what i can recal. now it reads 1520 gr. so she is now in weight but I'm worried that if she is gravid or going to be that this might hurt her.

    Re: acting really ODD!!

    A lot of gravid female BP's will wrap themselves around their water bowls. It has something to do with positioning eggs/follicales and moderating their body temperature. Sound like it's a successful thing you have got going there! Also I've seen females that were gravid at only 800 grams lay eggs just fine.

    Jess the only thing i would be worried about right now is getting the incubator fired up... Also worried for the wait you have ahead of you. Good luck!!!
