I have black and whites. They were breeding in June but I haven't observed them breeding lately. Then again, I haven't been home much either most of July, so I could be wrong. I guess I'll let them do their thing and if she lays, she lays. But in the meantime, I'm going to have to plan on bringing them in once it gets colder and they slow down.

Does anyone off hand recall how long the gestation period is? This would give me some indication of when she could lay. I'm moving them next week to their larger outdoor enclosure and she'll have ample room and soil to deposit eggs assuming she's gravid.

Also, is there a way to know if she's gravid or not aside from her looking fuller? She has been much more aggressive at feeding time lately than she ever was before. Kimo used to be the bully of the two but recently, she's been the one outhustling and stealing food from him.

[QUOTE="carcharios, post: 69112, member: 1050"] I have black and whites. They were breeding in June but I haven't observed them breeding lately. Then again, I haven't been home much either most of July, so I could be wrong. I guess I'll let them do their thing and if she lays, she lays.
