Likelyhood of being gravid

One of my females has gained 700g since November. She has only locked a couple of times but is currently in shed. If she ovulated I missed it but she is so huge. She missed a meal last week which is very unlike her.

How old is this female? Have you seen her bowl wrapping? Personally and professionally I would warm up the incubator and be prepared for her to drop a clutch real soon! Peace. A.C.

700g from what to what weight? What is her behavior in terms of where she sits in the cage, how does she position her body?

If you pick her up so she's hanging vertical you should see a ponch... It's hard to miss. I wouldn't hold her like that for long as its not comfortable - but if shes got eggs you'll see them.

she was bowl wrapping a last month and has only been on her hot side for weeks now. I believe she is a 2011 proven female I got, she did not go last season. Thankfully the incubator is already warmed up with a clutch that was laid last week

I tried that with my pinstripe a week before she laid 7 eggs but didn't see anything happen

If she sheds in the next week or so, I would say to get your egg tub prepped :gj:
