gravid?

[K1LOS]

How can i tell if my leo is gravid? I have tried feeling around the belly, but can't find anything. She has been looking fatter lately and she is pretty lazy. Spends most of her time on the warm side these days. How long from conception to laying is usual? Thanks

That sounds like what I've been seeing in my females. They fatten up, lay around in the heat, then eventually you can see the outline of the eggs through the skin of their stomach. They usually lay within 4 days or so of the eggs shelling (when they become visible).
Time from conception is usually about a month.

here's a quickie pic of one of my eggy girls

look at the white of her belly up towards her head, follow it back and you'll notice a colour change and a bulge.

I'll try to get a better pic.
