Gravid girls

This is my third breeding season. I did not take note in previous years, but I just noticed something...

I have several girls that I know are gravid, and within days of laying...

These girls, of course, have not eaten 6 or more weeks.

I just noticed, that several of these gravid girls have just urinated and/or defecated a little bit, when they have not done so for some time. Is this a common sign that they are about to lay?

Yes...

Woohoo!!!!! Good thing I just purchased more perlite.

I did have my first clutch of the year on Easter morning.

Easter Eggs!

I am expecting several more girls real soon. About 44-48 days ago, I saw ovulation after ovulation! Right and left. The most predominant and obvious, ovulation, was my big Mojave girl, who was bred with my mystic male.

It's probably been about 48 hours.

oh awesome cause my girl had a shed and i was guessing it was her pre lay shed but wasnt absolutly sure and she is sposed to lay on april 15th was the estimation thirty days from the shed and she hasnt eaten in a long time and she pooped alittle bit like 3 days ago or so and i was questioning weather or not she was gonna lay cause she ha not been laying in the coil like i have read so i was wondering is this normal?
