    A good sign?

    I've been breeding this girl since November and she went off food for 3-4 weeks then started eating again,
    Came home Monday and went to give her a spray as she's in shed and Monday night and Tuesday night she's been lying inverted. This is the first I've ever seen her lie like this,

    She's looking chunky as hell so hopefully this is the start of her building would be great to get a clutch from her

    Is she still eating? Mine usaly don't go inverted untill they are close to laying. Could you have missed her ovy?

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    She ate a smallish sized 75-90g spare rodent 12 days ago, as she was still eating I wasn't really keeping an eye on her for an ovulation to be honest

    Yea. They usually don't eat after ovy that being said my one ate a few days before she laid this year didn't miss a meal her whole term but that's very rare. I'd look for her to go off food soon

    That's what's throwing me off, if she was off food I would know what to expect, I'll be offering her food once she sheds anyway so hopefully she's off food

    I caught my Mojave girl doing the same thing after a shed not too long ago too, I'm expecting eggs from her this month, hopefully next week. My firefly also has been doing that too, been pairing her since October and she just shed this week, they both have been off food for months.
