I think the pet shop was correct. She's quite a lovely lady. What's her name?
Check out my blog linked below on female egg laying and the laying bin.

Yep, you have a very pretty little girl

She should be very popular at Halloween if that orange comes in

I like her

[Branman]

GIRL!

and gravid i think at that. hope you got a lay bin.

just out of curiosity isn't 6 months a little young to be gravid?? i know its said that veiled can breed at 6 but i everything i have read or seen said that panthers do not mature enough to be gravid until 9 to 10 months...

Definately a girl, but I would put out a laying bin just in case. Her colors do look like she could be gravid and if the pet store is wrong (how often is a pet store wrong!) she could be and you should be prepared. Make sure she has her calcium supplementation.

They can be gravid at 6 months. Veileds have even been known to lay at 4 months old!

She is definitely a girl and you should set up a laying bin for her.

should i put a small tub in her cage and see if she starts to dig in it?

wat do i put in it? play sand/soil

She is very nice looking, Those colors are from stress or she is gravid.She looks like she could be carring eggs.I too would get her a laying bin and increase her supliments

You can use sand.. sand and soil mixture... tipsoil... just make sure there are no chemicals in it such as fertilizers

You should have a laying bin in with her at all times at this point. Make sure to keep in clean and the dirt or sand moist at all times
