    concerned about my female Dum.
    Ok, here's the story, My Dumerils have locked up several times. Then 1 week later the female shed. Now one week after that, the female has been soaking in her water dish all day long, I removed her from the water, she warmed up under her lamp. But this morning she was right back in her water dish. Don't understand why since she just shed last week. Help?:confused:

    k seems right for normal set up.. but are the breeding temps supposed to be raised or lowered during the gestation period.. is she gravid for sure or do you not know yet?

    Re: concerned about my female Dum.
    I'm not positive that she is gravid yet, she has locked up with the male several times. Over the last 3 days she wants to constantly stay in her water dish. A friend of mine here that breeds snakes was telling me that snakes do that when they stay to cool for too long. While I had the male and female aka doom & destruction together, I turned off all the heat for they're enclosure. The ambient temp in the snake room is 85 daytime and 73 night. Does this sound about right?:confused:
