This girl is driving me crazy!!

this is my 100% het pied female. I am just very unsure as to whether or not she is gravid. so here it goes.

I observed a good lock between her and my pastel male. They were housed together for many weeks, but this was the only lock I ever observed. the male began eating not long after this lock after being off feed for a month.

Her behavior changed a few weeks later. she spent all her time curled up in her water bowl. she ate a few meals without hesitation.

these are great signs! I never actually observed any building or ovi, but a while later she went into her shed cycle.

After she shed, she started hugging the hot spot. she laid in strange positions as you can see in the picture below.

after about 2 weeks of hugging the hot spot, she started laying in the cold side again and hasn't moved. she is still laying in odd positions, but refuses to move to the warm side. I can't see any real signs of major swelling in her lower half, however her weight has jumped from 1650g on the lock date, to 1900 grams as of yesterday. 27 days from her last shed will be the 11th. I just can't see any egg lumps. Am I jumping the gun here? also, she has eaten once since her last shed. She has never refused a meal. thanks for the help. sorry the pics are crappy. the lighting in the snake room is bad and so is my camera.

this picture was taken 4 days ago.

Any tail suck?
Is she laying stretched out every so often?
Is her spine pronounced more than usual?

its possible that I'm seeing tail suck, although its not visually undeniable. she hasn't stretched out totally stretched out, but she has spread out a little bit. she kept her upper half of her body slightly coiled towards the cold end with the lower half stretched out in the hot end.
I have not noticed her spine protruding.

Your girl looks like how mines looks like, Im thinking they are getting close to ovu.

correction! I have observed a little spine protrusion. here's a few new pictures of her back end. she is lumpy back there to. she didn't look like this a few month ago.

I am in the same boat my friend, My girls are playing games with my head. I think they are gravid show all the signs and then start eating but I have started pairing again so the season isnt over just yet. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you will get eggs :D

I stupidly posted the same pictures. here are the correct pictures of her back area as she sits.

Looks like building. Keep pairing.
