So she just had her 2nd shed started yesterday and seems done today she has not been eating...And today she has been showing her colors ALOT faster in different patterns also...Only see Green and black colors tho

She is doing alot of things outta the normal like seems very active and then goes to the bottom walks on the sand and goes back up she has being doing this since today then she goes walking on the screen..Then returns to basking area for like 5-10 minutes and then repeats it over again :confused:

Getting nervous here she can't be pregnant right?
 
depends on how old she is. She can have infertile eggs if she is at the right age. I have seen them as young as 4 months old with eggs on here. It is kinda rare but it has happened. Why don't you post a pic?
 
Well yesterday when her shed started she was like hanging her back half off her vine...I don't know maybe I have been reading to much here some pics from a few hours ago..

how old is she? You said "walking on the sand" do you have a laying bin set up for her? how much were you feeding her prior to her not eating?
 
Yes, She would walk around her whole cage from the top to bottom...Today was the first day I have ever seen her changing color so much patterns but still only green and black...She pretty much was walking around like that with her colors....

As far as eating she would eat alot 4-6 dozen large crickets a week, but this last week doesn't seem to wanna eat just more less looking at her food even her superworms...I can still hand feed her a grape tho still feels like force feeding it...

Also her mood seems different she isn't hissing anymore even at my wife which she has bitten many times now..I got her at petsmart tho lady said she was like 3 months old bought her on 10-22-12

Update : So far she seems less active but now just basking puffed up maybe for more heat? temp is @84
 
Woke Up with an Attitude!!

So what happened? Was she pregnant? My 8mth old female is doing the exact same thing, well except walking on the bottom of the enclosure.
But the eating alot last week than it slowed down and today, she woke up with quite an attitude. Been puffing and hissing through out the day, and I have definetly left her alone, but at the sametime, she's acting different. She eating, drinking, and pooping fine, "Just an Attitude" is she just growing into an adult. Oh and she is getting ready to shed.:confused:
 
Honestly if she isn't showing gravid colors I wouldn't worry to much about it, my female Veiled is a year and 2 months old and she is just now showing her full gravid coloration. My advice is keep a laying bin in there just in case so she knows it there so that when the time comes she can produce her infertile clutch and lay them when she is finally ready. Looks like you won't have to worry about it, she isn't from what you said forming her gravid patterns. She should look like the link or pretty similar to this picture. That is when you know she'll be gravid.

I don't have any experience with females, but my male panther gets really moody during sheds, and it even lasts up to a few days after. He barely eats anything and is just miserable. He climbs around the cage trying to rub on anything to get the shed off.
