    Re: My wc gravid

    If you bought her from the "john guy" I am thinking of there is a chance she is not gravid, as he is just selling them for another company that has a terrible reputation.

    That said, I still have a few gravids that have yet to lay there eggs, we got 8 eggs yesterday from a w.c gravid we had left from this season. While most have laid their eggs by now, there are always a few that got bred later and hold out, like the females we have left, and the fact that animals from Ghana lay eggs about 30-45 days later than animals from Benin. Almost all the gravids that are shipped out are shipped from Ghana even though they were collected in Benin and Togo as the Freight from Ghana is a lot cheaper than Benin, so there is a good chance she was just a animal that was shipped from Ghana that had follicles and has yet to lay.

    All gravids are imported with large follicles, they are not actually gravid. That is the reason they can be imported, and shipped to a dealer then to you, and still produce good eggs as they ovulate in captivity. What you could have seen is her p.o.s that ran late as we have had some gravids do the same shed cycle, or she could have not ovulated and is not gravid.
    Out of 127 gravids we got in this year we had 4 that did not ovulate so we help them back.

    If she does not lay eggs within the next 30 days then you should contact "john" if he is still around, if not p.m us and I will tell you who he was selling them for, as he was just selling and did not have them in his care.

    My policy for gravids is :
    We guarantee 100% that they are gravid, if for some reason they do not lay eggs the animal has to be returned to us for a credit toward any other animal we have available, the other options are if a buyer has a animal that they do not want to send back then we offer them a partial credit usually 50% of the cost of the female, or offer a gravid the following season at cost and we cover the shipping.

    Even the most generous sellers will only offer to refund the cost of the female and your shipping if you return the animal to them. If the animal is not returned then its hard to tell is she laid eggs or not, so that is a reason for the seller to expect to get the animal back too.

    This is just our policy and experience with having and selling gravids, at the end of the day it all depends on the person you bought her from and what they think.

    Hope this helps.
