Gravid?

[Tyman3]

She has gotten significantly larger. This has been within the last week. I tried to breed her a week or so ago. I am not sure if she has eggs or not. I cannot tell maybe you guys can though because im new at breeding them. I never actually saw them breed. So maybe she isnt? Im not sure.

She seems pretty fat. looks like she may have eggs. Do you have a lay box in with her? Make sure to supplement extra.

 

[Tyman3]

Yes i do have a lay box in their with her. Her floor of the tank is reptile carpet . and in the lay box is calcium sand cause thats all i had

 

[Caleb C]

Go get some suitable things for the lay box. Shouldnt cost over $10 for the supplies.

 

[Tyman3]

Alright I will here in about 15 minutes. Anyway why cant i see the eggs?

 

[Caleb C]

do you have a small flashlight?
put her in a plastic deli container or something, and put a flashlight to her stomach, you can normally see them fine without a flashlight.

 

[Caleb C]

Was the male also a high yellow?

 

[Tyman3]

no. I have a big flashlight which i tryed before she was scared of it. And i cannot see them

 

[Tyman3]

No. But DANG! you know your stuff man lol

 

[Caleb C]

Weird, I had a lay box in with mine for a while, she dug around and never laid. what did you put in your lay box now?

 

[Caleb C]

The most common is vermiculite, eco earth, and moss.

 

[Tyman3]

vermiculite. Also do you think maybe its to soon to see the eggs or what?

 

[Caleb C]

Possibly, but her stomach is pretty big.

 

[Tyman3]

Maybe i need to look at it with a flashlight?

 

[Caleb C]

Do you have a well lit room?

 

[Tyman3]
