The 2nd gravid lass,bigger older one has come home into an indoor cage in the hope of having a higher percentage of tailed babies

I started seeing mating behaviour on oct 8th,suprisingly same time as year before,though year before was actually these two females chasing each other around,the one doing the chasing being the one whos just dropped babies
