Re: oopps........
It varies, sometimes you might not even know until the last minute, sometimes you're sure that they're gravid weeks in advance... then you're wrong. There are no hard and fast rules. If you haven't seen them mating you just don't know. Keep a close eye on her, and hopefully you'll be a 'breeder' soon!
The gestation period is normally between 90 - 120 days... but even this can vary as the females can store live sperm for use later.

Re: oopps........
oooooo i almost forgot!!!!!!! what would be the best idea for a cage..... when my older female had babies before i used my 20 gal but i only had her then so that was really my only op...
so here are my choices A. keep her alone in the breading Kritter keeper until she has babies B. keep her with my others (a young male and a female) C. take out the others and keep tham in the kritter keeper D take out the male and put him in the kritter keeper my female has had babies b4 and was fine (didn't eat them) i have also caught babies b4 and put them in the cage with both my female and male with no poor results the kritter keeper is 3/4 the size of my 20 gal on the bottom and 1/3 as tall
