dumeril female (possibly gravid)

Hi all. Just wanted to share. My female dumeril looks like she is possible gravid. I'm holding thumbs. This is my first year breeding dumerils. I'm so excited. The pair have been mating on and off since april. Male just started eating again.

Hello Tachja

As I said in pm, that could be Ovulation, still a long way to go. I reckon she is Gravid, so keep offering her food, even if she doesn't take it.
If your male is anything like mine, he will eat everything you give him.
Best of luck, I look forward to seeing babies in Late January, Early February.

Hey Tachja, may I request that you update this post once a month at least with a photo, just so we can see the progress.

Hello Tachj

When last and how much did she eat. I reckon she is Gravid.
Don't worry if you seem to see the thickness move up and down her length, it is normal.
Some days she will look thicker only in the lowest third of her body, other days in the lower two thirds of her body.
I noticed the last time my Female was Gravid.

Holding Thumbs for you.

HI Reptile-Cage

Has she shed yet? She looks staunch so I wouldn't be surprised if she is in fact gravid.
Goodluck and holding thumbs.

So here is a updated photo of my dumeril female, she did have a pre lay shed beginning of this month. We took the photo before cleaning her cage. As she's to big to pick up. So I took a photo while she was resting. She's really looking good.

So after many months of waiting, she finally gave birth to 14 stunning neonates and 2 slugs. So proud of my girl. Thank you to Roland for all your advice on this amazing species.

Congrats Tachja

It was my pleasure to be of assistance. That is a nice big clutch of babies, considering that it is her first time as a Mommy.
Well done to you.
