i am not thread jacking as this question is mostly towards Rich,but others may answer.
Once they ovulate their gravid and breeding with them is over. In about 2 weeks they shed and after they shed about 30 days eggs are laid.

they get large like that due to the impregnation process inside. I cant really go into details as its never been documented on whole process inside on why they massively swell.
