    "normal" gravid behavior
    I was wondering what is normal behavior for a gravid BP.

    I have one that spends most of her time curled up, and does not move around much, she is rather calm, and has not shed I think I may have seen an ov, but I am not sure, some of the pics of her I have put up you can see how big she looks in the back end. She has that raised spine look and is rather plump.
    The other one I have is very active, she shed about a week ago, she looks big, but not as big as the other girl. before she shed she did the same as the other girl, and stayed curled up most of the time, now she is all over the place, I saw her wraping her water dish a few times, and then going to her hot spot, she seems like she can not get comfy. Also a couple days ago she got out of her tub, I up-ed the cords holding the tub shut, and she is still trying to get out. very active, more so than even the babies I have. also she seems to be loseing her "glow" she is a bit darker now compared to 2 weeks ago.

    I was just wondering are my girls acting "normal" I know each animal is different, but since these are my first 2 to be gravid I worry about them, they are the first 2 I check in the morning when I get up, and the last I check before bed, I set up my laptop in the room with them, and I can watch them all day.
    sorry for the long post, I was just wondering.

    I have been wondering the same about my girl this is my first season too. i know i saw her ovulate and she shed 20 after her swell went down. She was going crazy in her tub for about 3 weeks and no where near her hot spot, i gave her a small rat as she was acting very hungry and she ate it. now she spends all day on her hot spot in crazy positions, and all night wrapped around the water dish. she looks really fat again but with out the glow she had before.:confusd:
