I put my male who would breed a garden hose if given the chance in with one of my oddball females and saw them going at it several times over the course of two weeks. I seperated them yesterday and offered the male food today. He refused so for the heck of it, I offered it to the female. She slammed it as soon as I put it in the tub. I was not expecting her to eat. She looked like a stuffed sausage and she still ate. I haven't had a gravid female eat for me before. Is she just hungry or is it possible that even though she shows signs of being gravid, she really isn't. I REALLY want her to have eggs so I can line breed and prove her so I am really bummed at the thought that my hopes are shot.
