    my female is acting strange?????

    i own a pair of het albinos and am planning on breeding them but am waiting for more size and i need to do some research. current weights male 800g female 1100g. recently the plexi glass on one of my tanks was broken right before i had to go out of town. I had no time to fix it so i tossed him in her tank and was gone for 5 days. this was a while ago now. she is starting to act really strange like shes in a trance or something. she is curling into a really tight spiral and kind of looks lumpy. she was still eating fine but recently went into shed. she has no lump but could they have locked up? and if so what signs should i be looking for or should i be giving special care? thanks for any help guys/gals

    He could have bred her, most definately. The female's weight seems pretty low for what I would consider safe.. I have an '06 that is around that weight, and I would never dream of breeding her. Ouch.. I guess that the most you can do now is sit it out and prepare for any healthy eggs that might be laid.

    1100g? Wow.. that would be something to see eggs come from her! Could be 3-6 eggs and all perfect and healthy. Get the incubator ready just in case.. Good luck on hatching out an albino or 2!!

    after reading up on it a little its really looking like she is. like you guys said 1100 is kinda low so i hope she will be ok, but a healthy albino would be AWESOME! ill post it if i do get a any healthy eggs out of the clutch.
