Hi, this is my first year breeding, just had a few questions about my gravid female:
- I'm guessing handling should be kept to a minimum during egg development? I'm asking because I have given her a few baths over the past couple days to help with her post ovulation shed, and she still gets taken out to eat every other week (small rat) but she definately doesn't get the near-daily socialization like she normally would because I want to leave her alone as much as possible.
- How big are the eggs at this point? I'm even scared to palpatate her, I guess I'm just scared about hurting her. I've seen the Ralph Davis step-by-step pictures but I'm not yet confident to do it myself... I would be so upset if something happened to her eggs.
- When should the glowing start? From now to egg laying?
Thanks for your help! I appreciate any input
