Alex going gravid?

[BPSabelhaus]

Pretty sure she's showing more signs. Appetite is down, she seems a bit uncomfortable and walking like she needs to poop. Gave her a nice warm soak and bath which really seemed to relax her and I thought she might poop, but no. Letting her bask for a bit, dry off etc... and I'll give her a little tummy rub later. Plus a little time in case the inappropriate pooper decides to strike lol
She actually just gave me a chance to feel a bit. She's definitely bloated up and I think I might feel something up front behind her arm? She's laying on a stick so hard to say lol

Like right where my middle finger is

Infertile eggs are very hard to feel. I never could on any of my girls.

What I think I felt was very soft and almost like maybe boba but softer. Either way she's due for a check up. Wife is going to have a feel later, but either way she'll be making a visit soon to see some people that miss Wiggles and fell in love with her

She very well may be gravid. You'll know soon enough, she'll probably go bonkers digging and glass surfing.

Check lol She is asking for a lot of attention. She has not been hanging out in her burrow. On, around etc... but not in. Maybe I'll backfill her cave.

Looks like Mr.Bp is about to be a grand-dad ..... of about 25 lmao

Hanging out by the glass again. She had a good poop yesterday, but is still doing the poop walk and body lift thing. Hopefully she's hungry after that poop. Hasn't really accepted much the last couple days.

That’s one pregnant beardie!

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Sort of lol

Slept in her burrow. Took the top off to check on her. Just a sleeping girl. I'll let her be probably until Sunday. If she's still in I'll check on her then. Going to stop and grab some wax worms as treats and get some soldier fly larvae coming. Worse case I just toss em in the composter if they start to turn before she's hungry again. Might even try setting up a breeding tent just to see if I can at least trigger breeding. Kind of getting bored of breeding some of my fish. Learned a lot from livebearers but I want to focus more on goldfish, Bettas and live foods. More insects and stuff for Alex, more daphnia, scuds and detritus worms. I also want to start keeping other stuff like shrimp and large copepods. I'll probably keep my French blue Endlers and move some wild types in with the Cichlid, but I need new challenges.
But no dragons lol Maybe when White Hot dragons retires I'll convince my wife to let me step up the game lol
