I am breeding my pinstripe female to a pastel and a spider. (Hoping for spinners or lemon blasts...or both!) I began pairing her up in December and she's been breeding with a male every time I put one in with her. On 1/14 I felt what I thought were very very small (smaller than a marble) follicles. Then on 3/28 I felt 4 small marble sized follicles. Today I felt 5 follicles that were about double the size of marbles and I noticed she's beginning to glow. I wonder how bright she'll get. She's already a shade or two lighter than normal and she hasn't shed too recently (a few weeks back).
My normal female began breeding in early November and ovulated only 3 months later! This girl is taking a bit longer.
What is the longest it has taken one of your females from the first pairing to a pile of eggs? So far with mine, 6 months.
