Re: Male/Female/Pregnant..?

That's a female, and she's large in the right area to be gravid (between her mid-point and her vent). Babies aren't difficult to feel, if you let her crawl between your thumb (on her back) and your fingers (under her belly). Gently press down so that she can crawl into her cage without too much effort, but hard enough that your finger tips press slightly into her abdomen (about 1/8" or 2mm). She'd feel lumpy if she were gravid. I couldn't see any obvious lumps, but that's not really out of the ordinary. How's her appetite?

P.S. Please don't call yourself ignorant. You're learning like every other intelligent person on the planet .
