Hello, Im trying to figure out what happened to my female leo mango. I introduced her to a male who mated with her 4 weeks ago. She had been ovulating at the time for sure, and after they finished i seperated them roughly 3 hours after. I had watched her closely over the next few weeks and the eggs began to develop, they became very dark red circles, with her pink ovulation spot still in the centre about 2 weeks ago they stopped being so defined.

Recently however the dark red circles became larger, and turned into large circular pink areas in her belly. I am curious if she absorbed the eggs because they had not been fertilized properly or for another reason, or if this is just part of the process of being gravid.

Any help? first time breeder so im sortof new to it all.

it only takes about 2 weeks for eggs ot develop so if it was more than two weeks ago when you first noticed the eggs then she's either absorbed or became egg bound.
