Nearing the surprise

Ok

So my girl just hit the 6mos mark of her being gravid. 3 mos ago she passed 4 slugs, and last week she passed 2 more. I hope this means that christmas is here soon.

I was just curious though, Since Jacksons are live bearing, at some point is possible to see abdominal movement or palapate the babies.

I tell you when it comes to this waiting stuff, I suck....I'd be the first one to be peaking at the christmas present under the tree.

Any thoughts

I've been considering getting a female jackson as well - I think I'd be a bit anxious too - let me know how it goes

when was she mated? I'm sure if you leave her alone you will see little babies one morning just chillin out in the cage good luck!

So cool that they are livebearing.. How long time does it take from mating to delivery to the live babies is their little sacks ?

She looks gravid to me.

Looks like she has a great personality! More to love? Rubenesque?

Honestly she doesn't look thick enough to be gravid to me. I've been known to be wrong before though... and I hope I am!

Good luck with her. Keep up the pacing.
