Puget Sound Gestation Period

[bkhuff1s]

For breeders with experience with Puget Sounds, how long is the gestation period.

I've asked this before, but I haven't been able to find the thread I did it in.
It's day 73 and I'm watching my girl like a hawk. I'd rather not do this if it's a 120 day period. I'd go nuts. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm in for.

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

It's the same as any other sirtilis.Then again my experience is 1 time.I really don't think too many americans have truly captive bred them.Maybe some euros have.

same as other garters, varies from 90 to 120 days

Well she's going to be absolutely huge by day 90

I know that concinnus found in WA State gestate for a minimum of 100 days but mine have always popped at 110-120 days. They are very close cousins.

And yes, it will drive you nuts. I currently have 4 gravid concinnus females and the wait is almost unbearable.

I'd say that 60-120 might be closer to the truth.

Day 80 and she refused food after not eating for a week

[bkhuff1s]

Every time she has a bowel movement I get excited, and then quickly disappointed lol

Same here. When in the late stages, the bowel movements seem to take as much effort as giving birth.

I would say 60 is very very short. 90-120 days is much more likely. I bred T.s.pickeringii from Vancouver, BC...Red phase...
