What is considered "normal" gravid female Veiled behavior? I'm aware she will eat less, hang around in the bottom of her cage, and possibley be more aggressive than usual.
She is in her normal cage with a lay bin of moist sand in the bottom. Front door is covered for privacy. My misting system is automatic and I feed her through a trap door so she can't see me when I give her food.
I monitor her 24/7 through an IP camera and I've noticed a behavior I've never seen in her before she was gravid. She will sit on the very edge of her bin and slowly pan her head from left to right. She will also shoot her tounge out at nothing but gets a bit of sand and swallows it. She doesn't shoot it out very far, maybe 4".
Is this normal behavior for a 12M old female Veiled pregnant for the first time?
The pic below is where she has been spending about 75% of her time over the last week.
