My fat little girl! Expecting some eggs

Here is my fat little girl! She is almost 100g and look at her belly! Im expecting eggs soon, looking to breed her with eric's male, would she be able to breed while she is gravid or does it have to be before they start to make the eggs? She shows some pretty vibrant blue and brown coloration every once in while (receptive)

You should ask him if you can breed her to one of his super trans males. The whole clutch will be trans if you do.
 
If you show her to the male by holding him outside her cage and she acts receptive then it's okay to allow them to mate. If she rocks back and forth, hisses, gapes, turns dark, etc then she is not receptive and you should not try to mate her.

If she does mate now chances are that the clutch will be mostly infertile eggs at this point though.
 
Ok, I just wasn't sure if maybe the eggs have hardened to much to breed this far along. He is coming in a few days. He has a huge appetite and I give her a ton of calcium (today was D3 day) although today she only ate a superworm, 2 butterworms, and 2 crickets and usually she with eat 2 superworms, a few small dubia, 4 butters, and a couple crix, and a mealie or two.
 
There will be eggs that are already shelled if she's close to laying a clutch...which is why I said there will likely be a lot of infertile eggs in the first clutch. However, she can retain the sperm for the next batch.

It will likely depend on how far along she is as to whether she will mate or not. You may be wasting your time.
 
I hope she retains, if it is a bad clutch I am looking forwards to breeding with erics super translucent next time, they are too small to breed right now.
 
She decided to lay today, the days she was getting picked up by someone else. I hope she is done by the time they get here because if not she might get stressed out driving back to their place and starting on a new laying container.
:(
 
Is she the one with the sore on the tip of her mouth? IMHO you should make sure she is finished laying the eggs and in good health when she goes to her new home....and they are aware of he situation.
