I know when they mate it takes about three weeks to a month to lay from what I have read. If she was not bred, then I am not sure!! Have you seen her attempting to dig? Are you sure you have the correct materials and amount of correct depth for her to lay? She needs privacy. Have you tried covering the cage up to get her to lay? You said she is not holding her weight good, you mean she is gaining weight?

blue dots does not necessarily mean gravid. it can, and usually just means sexual maturity. you will most likely start seeing orange in a month

i'll try covering up the cage tomorro before i go to work. that may work thanks, no she seems sluggish moving around the branches like her body weight is to heavy for her legs. i havent mated her with a male. shes been brill for 6months i think its just egg laying, everything is set up, av read up alot about them before i got her, av made my own cage which is a good size for her to move around
this is her at 3weeks old.
this is her at 3weeks old.

I would say that she looks more receptive as compared to gravid. Just my opinion.

agreed. if the blue is just coming in, it would be amazing if she already has eggs

seeing her in that cage, she looks so tiny! you are probably right and yes, blue goes not always mean gravid but receptive.
Edit: she is tiny cause he said she is three weeks old! Dah! Maybe post some more pics of her from different angles.

What is that big plastic thing in the bottom of the cage?
Blue dots on female veileds usually means receptive, but not always. She may be gravid. Sometimes they hide the gravid colors but others may appear like the blue spots. I didnt read all the posts so Im not sure if you have introduced her to a male. Start weighing her and comparing weight changes. If she starts increasing in weight quick you know shes gravid. At 6months of age, she may lay infertiles so always have a laying bin ready. Veileds dont reabsorb eggs so if theres any thought that she may be carrying eggs, put the bin in. Death usually follows a veiled who loses its chances of laying. Goodluck!

She doesnt look that fat to me. I just wonder if there is another problem.

i agree with dupont. i did not read the earlier posts, but how is her calcium intake? and push on her snout gently with one finger, see if one of her jaws bends - that indicates whether she is lacking calcium or not. i would think if she can not hold her self it would be a beginning stage of mbd
agree'd recepitve or mature!!
