Caspie had not eaten in several months - wasn't losing weight, either. For these months she was hanging out in the front of her tub (the cool area) and nearly always seemed to be looking out of her tub. Thinking she wanted to breed - and she being just about up to size (she's 3 years old) - I started pairing her up with my yellowbelly in the past two weeks.

Well, last night she ate her first rat in several months (WOOHOO!! ) and now is suddenly hanging out in the back of her tub (the hot side) like this:


(I do have substrate in there - I use unprinted newspaper, she just shoved it all to the front of her tank so you can't see it in the picture.)

Could she... maybe... be gravid?? It's almost like she is bowl-wrapping a non-existent bowl. Should I be checking her for follicles, etc.? What do you guys think? I'm super excited about this!! Gonna build my incubator this weekend I know, I know, maybe I'm counting my chickens before they hatch, but I need an incubator anyways if I'll be breeding...
