    true if you wanted an albino clutch you should have just kept on with the albino male only rather than jumping around between the other males. But Good louck anyways hope the albino was the one who sealed the deal. and maybe next time let your girl get a few hundred more grams on her, in think 1200 is the bare minimum of breeding but most say its too small.

    Re: Folicles or Ovulation ? albino x 3 males

    guys
    i dont care if i got albinos or hets. just love the hobby and i want eggs. i will be happy if i got some fertile eggs
    i know the result of genetics but is not my first think.
    i don't believe that the female has more than 2 eggs. but the point is if she is on follicular development and i must continue having a male on her cage to fertilize the eggs or allow her alone and wait..

    She's done. She is ovulating in your pics. You can tell for sure because in the pic that she is balled up and you see her belly you can see the tail suck. The creased vent scales are a sure way to know she is ovulating.

    Re: Folicles or Ovulation ? albino x 3 males

    After ovulation they don't retain that look, that is how many people miss their ovulations altogether. If the normal female is looking normal again, she could DEFINITELY still throw some eggs, so I'd watch out for that. Good luck with both girls! Make sure to feed them well after they lay though, that girl is looking a bit on the thin side--though it may just be the pictures.

    Cheers,
    -Matt


    R.I.P. Steve, I'll miss you more than you could have ever known. I love you.

    She should be a minium 1200 grams in October(beginning of breeding season) not 1200 grams now! Good luck with the ovy!

    There is no need to hope. She is ovulating in the pic. 100% positive.
    She will shed in about 2 weeks and lay about a month or so later.

    Can't help you on the other one. Have you palpated her? Right after ovulation it is tough to feel the eggs, but after a couple weeks, as laying gets closer, they are pretty easy to feel. You can even tell if you have slugs by palpating them.

    okay we have to wait then!!
    for the normal female. yes i palpated her and i don't feel the eggs(or slugs)!!
    if she finally lay eggs , it will happen this days. i didn't remember the day that she shed because she was showmen off and i didn't write it down.

    ultra sound will tell us if she has eggs? i can search for vet..
