So some of you know my story and some of you don't. I purchased a pastel female back in January and left her where I bought her so she could be bred to a Super Mocha. They ended up selling the Super Mocha so I took her back to my house and kept her here.
In the mean time I bought and quarantined a butter male and after a while I thought that my pastel was not gravid because she was only intermittently showing signs and was still eating. So I have been occasionally putting the butter male in with her on and off and to my disappointment, they wouldn't breed.
I have been gettin SO frustrated!!! GRR!! lol. So today I decided to take her to get palpated by the person I bought her from. I knew I probably wasn't palpating hard enough or correctly but I still thought I'd be able to feel something.....turns out I was wrong.
I held her front end and he started palpating and suddenly he goes "...One...two....three....four....." and I was like OMG!
Then he does it again "...one...two....three....four...five!!"
Did it a third time just to verify and sure enough he felt 5 follicles and he said very large ones at that. He said I should be expecting my pre-lay shed any time now!!
Time to get my butt in gear and make my new incubator (I have my lil one running just in case...have the whole time...but I just want a bigger one).
I know I have no pics or whatever for this section, I just am REALLY excited and wanted to 'vent' LOL!
Thanks for reading!!![]()
