Are We Close Yet???
Gary's ravenous appitite wasn't there today for her feeding. She picked at her worms, but didn't eat them. She shed last week, and today she's rather sluggish. Think she's preparing for labor?

Re: Are We Close Yet???
usually a shed and not-eating is a good indicator that your babies are on the way!! She looks more than ready!

Re: Are We Close Yet???
Usually it does not take long at all... once she has that first baby... they just keep on coming out... about one every minute or so! At least, every birth I have ever witnessed happened like that.
They are so nonchalant about it too! One time I was sitting there feeding the girls, and I had a female's tank down at the time... and she raised her tail like she was about to poo and a baby just popped out! Just like that!! haha

Re: Are We Close Yet???
I don't think it would happen at night per say, but then again the captive photo period is way different than one in the wild...
