Hi guys! :D Here in the link you can see my merauke ( should be gravid ) female. You can also spot few pulses on her belly.
Would be awesome if you post your thoughts about this event :love:


At the moment the bet is on babies pushing over her belly :D

Oh wow, what a spectacular observation. I have never seen a twitch like that in the lower part of their bodies. But then again, I have only slugged out so far. I am interested in what the experienced breeders think.

This is either babies or about to be the chest popper scene from Alien. Seeing as I doubt she has been to space, hopefully you will have babies soon!

Most likely spontaneous contractions in preparation for birth from the uterus - I think you'll find it is like a Braxton Hicks contraction in humans. Thanks for posting.

She was mating through 60 days!?
Even counting from the first day of mating you may still have quite a ways to go; my shortest gestation to date was 163 days. Longest to date was 205...

She has a good temperament, never fought the male, so he was able to mate without problems.
At the end of February she became a monster when the male was near her, so i stopped it :D

They mated every 3-4 ( max 7 ) days, with successful insertions and fails every now and then :mrgreen:
Talking about the weather, we had a cold winter this year ( regarding our standards )
