gravid this late?

[thegeckoguy]

So i was told to like rotate my female, three days with a male, 3 days without. Well after three days i took her out. Its been about 6 days now, she just shed and seems a little larger, but no visible eggs. Can females be gravid this late in the season? I mean i know breeding can last all year but is it usual to have eggs this late? When will i start to see the eggs in her stomach if she is in fact gravid?

One of mine is still gravid. She started a bit late, laid 2 clutches, took a month break and here she is again.

One of mine should be gravid. Haven't checked her yet, but she bred with one of my males about a week ago. Congrats to you. Hope everything come out ok for you.

If she was ovulating and the deed took place it is very possible she could be gravid. 2-6 weeks it can take to Lay eggs. I have females that are starting to ovulate and will be going in with the male soon. Good luck hope you get some eggs.

my old SHCTB was gravid and is probably again lol i know of breeders expecting more eggs in like november so it doesnt sound out of the ordinary

Justan, yes! and congrats! I get eggs almost year round, some of my projects start in early january and some start in late June. Also, I find it best to move the male in with the females, so you stress the females less.

good i hope so Id really like to see something i havent hatched yet. An albino isnt much but its exciting Im gonna put the male in with her again tonight until im sure shes gravid. Thanks for the info

Do you assist this with cool-down periods or do these occur on their own? Did it occur with the onset of maturity or with the initial mating introductions?

Thanks.

No cooling, and maturity--I won't put a male with a group unless ALL the females are ovulating. I've had to pull the occaisional female because she just wouldn't cycle with her cagemates. I have one group of 4 females where each one came from a different breeder--strange enough, they all ovulate around the same time?!?

Probably pheromone influenced.

Thanks.

Hi, we have some females that are ovulating late this year. Just make sure you give her a few months rest when she's done laying her last eggs.
