Does my pygmy look gravid???

[Cucciolo]

Hi guys. I got a pair of pygmy (Peanut abd Butter) last Thursday. These are my first pygmy so I can't tell if she is gravid. She looks pretty fat, round to me. They both eat and drink well but the female doesnt eat as much as the male. I saw there are couple times that Peanut (the male) attempting to crawl to her back but she keep swinging her body left and right until Peanut gave up . She gets really mad whe he does that.

Anyway.. I just need some comment on if she looks gravid?

Thank you very much

Thanks . I will keep my eyes on her. Hopefully I can find some eggs soon.

I posted this before in another topic, but there is a little trick to check whether or not a pygmy cham is gravid. Check out this article a friend of mine wrote some years ago: http://www.chameleonnews.com/06MayDeckers.html
Scroll down and you'll see a photo of a gravid temporalis. Be careful not to hold her to close to the lamp

Thanks Ferdy for your link. I did saw your post last week whe I was searching for information regarding on gravid pygmy. Try it with the light techniqe but didnt see anything . May be I will try it again with later today.

It can be difficult to see through them with a spot light. Maybe you could try it with a strong LED flashlight? It's been a while since I did it myself. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see if I can give you some more useful advice.
