Gravid Leo??

Hey I was just wondering if you guys think she looks to be gravid or not??

hi there,
welcome to the forum, im sam.
i would say yes from looking at the top pic of her.

Yes she definitely is.
Do you know if she has been bred or not?

If she hasn't then she may not lay them, and if she does lay them then they will be infertile.

Interesting username you have there lol. May i ask where the inspiration for that came from?

Welcome to the forum I'm Sarah.

& I don't know much about pregnancy in leos.. but I would say she is deffo pregnant

Thanks so much for your help everybody, yes she has been with a male. I thought she looked gravid but just wanted to see what you guys said. This is my first time breeding leos, I have bred Cresties before though. Does it look like she may be close to laying?? I have a lay box in there and she just started digging a little bit.

Lol and thanks, I just love reptiles and have so many, GirlWithScales just seemed appropriate lol

Also, does anyone know how the hatchlings might turn out to look?? She is a Mack Snow and the male is a Bell Albino.

they will prob be mack snow bell albinos and look something like this little hatchling when they come out of the egg

Aw thats so cute, is it one of yours??
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
What do you guys find best to use as substrate in a lay box??

it was a baby i hatched last year but has since been sold with its parents to a friend of mine.
i'll post another pic in your other tread of its brother.
mine use there moss boxes as lay boxes so moss

Aw well its adorable, yeah I definitely want to see the other pic if you can post it, ill look on my other post for it, thank you.
Yeah thats what i was using, moss. Just wondering if other people found that good to use too.

i've only had one female that wont lay her eggs in moss but lays the eggs right infront of the box

To the OP, i'm afraid you won't get any that look like that. You won't get bell albino's, only het bell albino's.

Personally i use vermiculite, i find it doesn't dry up as quick.

Everything after Jordan's post (#10, and you should include some thread post count icon thingy would be really helpful ) is being split into an introduction thread for girlwithscales. BTW... welcome to the forum Good luck with your leo... I have no experience breeding so I can't add to whether or not she looks gravid.

if you want to move it kel feel free but im happy leaving it as is, as it went back onto the topic.

and i would say it probably wont be to long before she lays them.

Will look into a post count thing Kel. I do like that on other forums.

So she laid the eggs!! She must have laid them in the middle of the night and I found them when I woke up this morning. I'll show you a picture, but the lighting in the pic almost makes them look slightly tinted yellow, but they are not. They are perfectly white, but they are very soft. =/
But either way, I'm glad she laid them okay and seems to be doing just fine.
What do you guys think??

to you both.

they look good

Thanks guys.

they should harden up in the incubator

Yeah thats what I figured. It just freaked me out a little bc all my crestie eggs were definitely a little more firm when i found them. But hopefully they will be good.

they do feel funny to pick up when they are quite soft and rubbery i've never had cresty eggs but hopefully i will soon

Score!!! Good for you!

Thanks!!

Yeah I think I just wasnt ready for it when i first picked them up bc my cresteds had all firmed up a bit before I got to them.

WOOOOOO! cool ^ ^ congrats!!
