I'm pretty sure about (97%) if they were sucessful in mating she will have fertilized eggs. Now see if she can get the eggs layed and you can then correctly incubated them (takes long time) is the big question.
Can some body (Senior member) look at the thread "my pairs first mating" in new posts and answer a couple of our questions there. There's confusion there. Please, Thanks.
No not pregnant. I was wondering if a female onlyshows gravid colors once her eggs have been fertilized. I think I may have read that a female will show gravid colors when they are ready to lay eggs regardless if the eggs are fertilized or not, but I'm unsure. Hope somebody reads this and...
It is absolutly the best place I found and I've looked on and off for months. This is the only place i go unless someone here was to refer me to an article etc... I can't read here. Hasn't happened yet.
I think I'm going to try this with my adult male veiled, because the crickets sometimes hide in the cage for days at a time, and may die of old age before he can see them to eat'em.
I didn't even think about weighing him regularly. They did it at the vets office on a digital scale that appeared to be exactly like one I use to weigh items for cooking recipies. Good tip! Thanks. The vet didn't mention that I should do that... hummm...
LOL, you guys are kill'n me!!! If I drop a cricket I am almost never able to catch it. I think they know it too and so taunt me regularly by walking around my floors casually. They are watchful little buggers, they can tell when I've spootted them so no matter how stealthy I attempt to be...
I think I hear in the forum somewhere that a female can show gravid colors wether her eggs are furtilized or not (she's showing she needs to lay eggs)? Is that true?
Yes, my male veiled turns light green when sleeping. Does anyone know how often an adult veiled will shed? When I had my female, while she was growing, she did it regularly every four weeks. Seems the adults shed much less often. Haven't had my adult male long enough to discover his cycle.
Well, if it's at 7 pm it just sounds like it's his bed time. I think it supposed to be worrisome if it's closing it's eyes and/or napping throughout the day....?
Okay, thanks. Yes, it's totally dry, but I'll be watching it for the next couple of weeks since it is on the same limb I'm doctoring from the elbow infection. It was really strange because I'd looked at them closely checking out his nails and didn't see any injury to the toe. When I did...
That is something I may be interested in. I watched mantises all summer at night while hunting katydids for my cham. They both hang-out together in the same flowers, walls and a large fig tree next to my flood light. There were brown, long skinny mantises there and I also found some, long...
