Noticing the heavy breathing of gravid females easily now,these pics are of the 1.2 that live together,kunnanurras,the ballooning lass always gets bigger than her sister,last 2 seasons shes had litters of 16 and 13 as aposed to her sister whom has had 7 twice

Ive yet to see that male mate but this season he was chasing them ect and if lighter lass drops its only male thats been with her,as you can see shes quite scuffed up,shes never been so scuffed,im planning to maybe seperate the male in future ,just to give females a break,and to be in more control,might let me actually see him mate,big girl was mated by another male,but chances are the big fella slipped a few in to

i hope they drop some amazing little northerns soon.

Prince regent lass is looking good to,breathing heavy,basking lots and eating good still,last season she dropped slugs,fingers crossed she has babies this season

The other 2 im not as confident with,both young small females,they are both doing the heavier breathing,ones not eating a heap ,shes the one i actually put with young male,the other is the young males cage mate,she has slight scarring,has gained abit of weight and eating really well,but could just be putting that into growth

No,only wildcaught is the male in with 2 females

I should point out to,that apart from that adult trio,all other adults are housed alone as they are very aggressive to one another,except for some of the young ones,experimenting there

Nice! Looking forward to some baby pictures!

[StaceyLeigh]

Yep- they definitely look nocked up! Can't wait to see those babies

Your gestation periods seem to go by SO much faster than mine. It seems like these guys were just mating last week. I guess thinking about it every waking second of every day when mine are gravid slows time down.

Most of these were mid july,if i recall i think i witnessed ovulation towards end of july in a couple,so going off end of july ovulation for first litters,see how it pans out,been trying to be more observent,and yes still seems to take 12 months for end result,at this rate theu will have babies by the time the blotchies even start mating,lol,no shedders yet
