Harold YOU have to link the photobucket tag to your post. Just go to your picture and copy the address in the box below the picture that says IMG. Then paste it into your post.
Then the picture will show

I think I figured it out. Again sorry about that, I'm totally self taught in the computer dept. I know just enough to be dangerous.

lol, its not problem harold. Well she is definitely tubby, I would say its 99% that she is gravid.. How is her appetite? Have you soaked her recently to see if there are any visible lumps in her belly?

Well, she does look to be pretty tubby at her lower end, so she may well be gravid.. I take it you've had her in with a male? (Have to check! )

Our best breeder, Yemaya, has several tell-tale signs so we always know when she's gravid (she's a big girl anyway so weight and a tubby belly are not unusual for her!!) - she will eat large amounts for a couple of weeks and round about a week before laying will stop eating altogether. She will start digging 1-2 weeks before laying, so we know when to put a lay-site in for her. She can also get a little defensive - she has been known to turn to bite and puff out with the threatening beard/mouth open display when we've had her out of the tank and she has been gravid. Who says they aren't protective of their broods?!

Hi all,
Marsha, she's eating fine, or more than fine, and I've soaked her a couple of times. She is tubby but not noticably lumpy.
Bitis, her attutude is not really any different. She has kind of dug around a little bit but that might be only because Harold digs all the time. I think they just like to rearrange the "furniture". She has laid unfertilized eggs in the past and we didn't notice anything unusual in her behavior then either.
I did have a nest box in there and separated them but all that happened was Mr. H lost weight and Mrs. H pooped in the box. I think that I just need to be patient and wait and see. This us almost as bad as being pregnant myself. I'm not good and waiting.
As soon as anything happens or not, I'll let everyone know.
Thanks for the support,
harold

Hello an update,
Nothing happening so far, although they haven't slept together the last couple of nights. Maybe that means something. Anyway, we probably won't be going anywhere for Christmas this year.lol
