Positive she's not pregnant. :) Ultrasound Update

[Aercadia]

Yesterday was a WOW MAIL day, perfect for a birthday, even though I wasn't expecting any presents to be delivered... just an amazing snek, and our Ultrasound machine showed up too, which was a bonus! Between a badly translated instruction manual, several Youtube videos, and the miracle of Google keyword search, we made short work of figuring out how to operate the unintuitive little thing, and did scans on all of our breeding-size females.

As it turns out, the Kingpin female IS NOT pregnant. We were seriously surprised, as we thought from everything we had seen that she was much further along. Now we're uncertain whether she's just growing follicles or whether she's reabsorbing them - they are currently 21mm, so we're going to continue pairing her and take measurements every week or two so that we can figure out what is going on.

She ate last week, but refused again this week... we're still unclear at what point a female will go off food during the breeding cycle, and would appreciate any clarification from the community.

Turns out, we also have an Albino girl with 27mm follicles (she has been paired with a TSK Snow), and our Orange Ghost (paired with a Buttery Nipple) has 4-6 EGGS hanging out, so we are incredibly excited to get a little ghost clutch sometime in the coming month(s)! Her next shed should be pre-lay, so we are crossing off the days and waiting hopefully!
