Jay, Your girl definitely looks prego's...not sure how they can retain sperm for over a year though, are you sure she hasn't come in contact with any males since giving birth?

so what made them believe she was pregnant? She looks too young to have had a clutch already. She does have a bit of a droop but I would say that's not enough to convince me. Post pics again in another month or so.

Babies are officially 5 weeks old...unfortunately, we lost another one. Woke up to find a half eaten baby (ants) so wasn't sure if it passed overnight to get hit by the ants early in the AM or what. I do know that most, if not all of the babies looked fine the day before. All were awake...

there's no pics here...lol

I have a wild caught female Jackson, had her for a solid 6 months now. A little over a month ago she gave birth to 21 babies! She's since recovered and is doing just fine. Lots of misting and feedings is key.

Beautiful set-up! More vines would be great for sure! Monty will want to do a lot of climbing :)

I'll send you some instructions to your inbox

I would say yes they still shed. Their bodies are expanding so why not? My girl shed prob once or twice during her pregnancy.

That would be hilarious if they both gave birth again at the same time! Although I guess it's possible, if they gave birth the first time at the same time and their bodies aren't all that different. Actually, I'd prob laugh for maybe a minute or two, until I realized it will add on to the holes...

congrats! sorry about the 4...i lost 5 out of my 21 Jackson babies, but the sweet 16 is looking fairly strong at this point and it's been over a month! :)

Any chance you could upload the pics to this thread? Photobucket is blocked for me :-(

check it out, i took these yesterday...she is looking a bit on the larger side again! she was pretty skinny after first giving birth a month ago! the third one is our other girl Kiwi, who I don't think is prego's (since it's not exactly possible) :confused:

Yikes!! Hope she's okay...you think she'll give birth soon ?? Good thing you got your colony going!

She's pregnant for sure. Have you weighed her before and after mating her? She should show a steady increase in weight over time. Visibly, it won't be that obvious until about 4-5 months into the pregnancy. One way you can know for sure is if she consistently rejects male advances. Any happy and...

That's odd...what breed are they? And are you sure they're the same breed? At the least, they ought to have some kind of reaction to each other. If she doesn't mind his presence, then she's obviously up for mating, but I'm thinking he has to perceive her as some kind of threat to not be interested.
