Gravid

[acidburn01]

So, Nova is gravid, the follicles are just starting. But what we're wondering is, how long is it between becoming gravid and actually laying the infertile eggs.? I know physically laying them can take days, but how long will she be gravid for with the infertile eggs.? Also, I read they'll eat more and it'll only benefit the health of the eggs and stuff. With her virtually not eating right now, will that be the same issue if she were laying actual fertilized eggs.? If that's the case, would that mean the eggs wouldn't be super successful.? Does any of this make any sense.? Does it seem like I'm panicking.? I am. A little bit. I know she doesn't have the proper calcium in her system, just because the first four months of her life, she had no calcium from her previous owner and now that she isn't eating, I know she's lacking. I'm terrified of her being egg bound. Someone talk me down from this ledge of worry.

I'm not sure on time frame.
For calcium mix some liquid calcium into water and give it to her orally. TASTE it yourself, some has no taste some is rancid, my guys wont drink the stuff that taste bad.
They go off food before laying, mine was two or three weeks before.

I can get her to eat worms, but only one or two. I've been dousing them in a mix of calcium powder and reptivite vitamin powder so she gets at least something.

Man I am stressing this.

I do, she's definitely my baby. She's also definitely uncomfortable already. Her stomach is bigger than it was and she's still gaining weight. She's been aggressive with the babies, charging their tank and stuff. And desperate to get out and just.. run. She's been hauling ass everywhere she can.

On another note, King Toothless is in the house.
