    Will she ever become gravid??

    Her last meal was 5-15-12, than I thought I saw some building or a Ovy a week later, and she stopped locking with the male. Here is a pic of when I thought she was building or a small ovy.



    Than she Shed on 5-31-12. So I was excited, and hopefull, lol. Well she has refused every meal offered and was getting huge and sitting mainly on the warm side in a perfect coil. And it seemed like a long time from the shed til now and still no eggs. But than a couple of days ago she didn't look quite so big anymore, and is now in shed. I don't get it. Will she ever get pregnant? Here are some pics of her today, in shed.






    I am getting a bit discouraged with her right now, lol.

    I see ponch there - I'd advise you leave her alone. You are handling her WAY too much

    I don't normally handle her, other than once or twice a week to clean her tub. Other than that I just open her tub once or twice a day to check water and spot clean, but I rarely handle her.

    ok Sorry for assuming. She looks fine, just be patient.

    Handling them gently doesn't hurt a thing however I try not to handle much after I know they have ovulated, which I'm guessing she has by the looks of the belly.

    I'd guess she's in her prelay shed mode which means eggs 27 to 35 days after her shed

    I had a female this year take for ever, then she finally ovyd and shed like normal. Well then she shed again when she was supposed to lay. So I was confused, but she laid 2 days after her shed. Sometimes they just want to trick you a little...

    Yep just give it time. I just got my first clutch after missing the ovy and giving up hope. I also tried feeling for follicles but failed at that.

    Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath, she doesn't look "paunchy" at all; if she were gravid, she would be far thicker in the profile shots.
