Gravid questions

[kokom05lb]

So my girl Angel has been the same color as she is in the avatar pic. I'm guessing that shes 4-5 months old. She's been like this for about 2-3 weeks now. At first I thought it was just a shed (which she did shed last week). But now I'm not sure. Last couple of days shes been hanging out at the bottom ofher cage. I set up a 5 gallon bucket outside of her cage with a couple vines and a bird ladder leading to it.

Shes still paces the bottom of her cage. I spotted her staring at the cricket bucket, so instantly blocked her view from it. She gets 15 crickets a day and when I feed her in the morning she seems like I'm starving her to death. Then I noticed out male, Ringo, on the bottom of his cage today.

Just trying to figure out whats going on. Worried cham mom here

i am a panther breeder, but from the signs she is showing i suspect she is gravid, you should check out my post at breeding panther thread, there is some valuable info!!!

best pictures i could get without pissing them off at night
First pic - Angel with her pj colors. Where I bought her from the pet store has older females. Three in the same cage, and they are just about as dark as she is.

I know I'm in need of so more sand. My wonderful son thought it would be AWESOME to dump out my sand and potting soil

And yes she's a veiled

What about Ringo? There should be rare reason for him to be on the bottom right?

no your male should not be at the bottom and for her to lay put the bin aside and put a heat lamp (no to hot) over the bucket not to close though and put her in it but make sure she cant get out because she keep climbing to get out and then just place her in it and let her do her buisness but try and not to peep at her once she starts like i did and if she doesnt dig for about and hour dig her a test tunnel and one more thing leave her in there for about only 2-3 hours a day
