could anyone tell me if she is showing the colours of a gravid female thanks

Mine is gravid as we speak. She is showing darkish blue in the places where yours is showing yellow. Yours is showing what look like small dots though hard to tell if they are blue or not from the pic.

How old is she? The colours that mine is showing are, I believe, denoting that she is receptive to breding. Has she slowed down, gone off her food? does her stomach look bulgy? Spending more time under the UV?

Has she been showing these colours continuosly?

Looks to me as though she is! But this is the first time round for me with a gravid Yemen so please don't take my word on it. There are others on here far more experienced who will be able to help out.

If she is get a nest box in there .

Good luck

Rick

I would assume that being a year old she has laid eggs b4? Did you have her when this may have happened or have you just recently got her?

Nest box in there good.

Just up her calcium intake and feed her some nice treats locusts, waxies etc.

Some signs that she may be with egg!

Has she slowed down, gone off her food? does her stomach look bulgy? Spending more time under the UV? Rooting around / exploring the bottom of the viv more.

Do you know if she was mated in the past b4 you got her, that is if you have only just got her? Apparently they can retain sperm for future clutches!
