Some of you may know Pascal's story... either way it's really not too important in this question.
Pascal is appx 1 1/2 years old and has never showed signs of being gravid... no color changes, no pawing around the cage or acting restless ( if anything she's just plain lazy, lol), she sits in her usual spots and comes down when it's time to eat, no changes in food intake.
She's in a medium reptarium cage with 12 hours of light, reptisun 5.0 light, changed every 6 months, temp is at 80 with a drop to appx 70 at night. Misted 2-3 times daily depending on how dry it is here.
She eats crickets we gut load and butter worms in a moderate amount, appx 8 crickets more or less depending on how many worms she gets. She prefers the crickets, but eats the worms. She gets feed on Mon, Wed, Friday, and a snack Sat. night (usually worms).
I monitor her calcium intake and give her a shot of calcium every two weeks due to her MBD she dealt with last year. We also dust her crickets with the Flukers calcium dust. Normal voids, good appetite and drinks well.
Should I be worried? She doesn't look fat, she does puff up when she's upset. Am I just missing the signs? Is the mix of her MBD and her environment just preventing her from going gravid? I just want to make sure she's okay and healthy.
