Yes, most adult xantholophus arrive either gravid or with great chances of producing more offspring without another copulation. If she is, in fact, gravid, she may still be out a few months. Keep an eye on her behavior and appetite, as she will decrease her food intake dramatically and become restless before she gives birth.

Very good looking girl.

Cheers,

Thats not very far off from where she is at. She was one of the guys first cb breeders that he let go i assume she is prego but im not sure any ideas of how long i should be looking at?

yes, she looks gravid. My Jacksons live outside and usually breed in early spring. About 6 months later, babies start appearing.

Hello again,
last night she was up all night in the corner she kept pulling at the metal screen with her front arms. Shes never up at night im thinking we may be getting close to the time where shes going to have the babys? She also is so heavy she was on the top of the enclosure and she let go all that was supporting her were her front legs she is so heavy she couldnt get her back legs back up onto the screen she seems more active then ever before should i be setting up baby tanks do you guys think?
Thanks a ton

How is her appetite? It could be that she is close, though they generally give birth in the early hours. Keep her well hydrated and watch her closely. Having a cage ready won't hurt, but most importantly, make sure you have access to lots of pinheads or fruit flies as they'll start eating within 24-48 hours.

Cheers,

she hadnt ate in 3 days and she ate again tonight. i have dart frogs and raise fruit flys have millions of them so thats not a problem and the petstore gets pinheads in 2 times per week so i should be good there. i just want her to have the babies already im getting impatient
