Hey everyone, I got 3 rats to start off a small breeding colony so I can feed the snakes I own. I have 1 male to 2 females, I got the male before the 2 females so he's about a month older. The male is 4 months, the females just over 3 months now. I have witnessed several breedings between him and both females over the last 1-2 weeks or so. I wasn't sure the females even bred properly with him because none have been showing much signs of a possible pregnancy. The one female is starting to show some signs that I think is a pregnancy, I took pictures to show and see what you guys think.

I also noticed there hasn't been a thread made all for determining if females are pregnant or not, I think one should be made so there aren't a million threads about it. Just a thought!

Here's a pic of the female in question, an overview shot and belly shot.

Thanks for looking!
