By saying watching the build, were you refering to visual signs? I've been pairing since november, i see my female always soaking despite the temp drop, sometimes coiling around the water dish, and once i saw here inverted. I've read that these were signs, just want to know you see the same on building females. I've tried my hand at palpating but i don't feel any obvious bumps. I check on her almost daily but see no bulges. She does appear to be increasing girth despite her refusal to feed. Weight has hardly changed, slightly increasing by a few grams. I so want to hear confirmation that these are positive signs. Too excited i guess. Been keeping balls for years but this is my first breeding season with locks.
