what signs do each of you look for from your females threw out the breeding season, and what is it you read from it, and how do you react??
"So far this is the oldest that I've been"
'If you can make it through the nite, there's a brighter day'
"I'm out the game, put the 2nd string in."
"live with the pain and keep trying or die knowing you never gave anything a chance"
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive"
"No one can take away your dreams"
first thing I look for is sitting on the cool end of the cage/tub this is a good sign of developing especially if its a constant thing where you hardly ever see them on the warm side.
then its bowl wrapping / sitting in weird positions sometimes my females will lay upside-down sometime kind of twisted on their sides this is a decent sign of developing.
then you look for the building. my females seem to just keep getting fatter by the day when ovulating is close. the bottom third of the body will have a lump like she ate a big rat that's when they ovulate. my females seem to go back to the warm side before ovulating.
after they ovulate they will sit on the warm side most of the time. often in a perfect coil.
the coil seems to get tighter the closer to laying
right before they lay eggs they become very active and sometimes twist and contort their bodies to move the eggs into position.
