My female veiled has been acting strange lately. She doesn't seem to be eating much (I don't tend to feed her too much in the first place, usually 5-6 crickets or 3-4 superworms). Shes about 9 months old now and I've noticed her puffing up for no reason at all in her cage until she sees me standing in front of her then she goes back to normal. My question I guess is can a female be gravid and not really appear like she has eggs inside of her? She still appears her regular sized self. I placed her laying bin inside her cage last night right before bed so I'll see what she does today.
