New enclosure setup on the way

[twatts704]

Well my female is starting to get spooked by something in her cage and idk wtf it is :/ she is fine out of the cage with me but when she goes back in her cage she looks at this same corner and puffs up and turns all black and gapes her mouth! Can't figure it out, she is healthy and nothing has changed... started doing it today. She has been hiding in her pothos plants all day! Anyway my plan is to do exactly what maxttu did with the vanities. I will be making a few modifications but hopefully this will change her mood and give a new setting to there environment.

Here she is though, and about 5 minutes later she was all pink again and roaming all over me! Its driving me crazy I don't understand...

She looks gravid with eggs. Do you have a lay bin for her?

 

[twatts704]

Sure do, wasn't sure if she was or not. I was suspecting that too though. I think I better check my pothos plant. I don't want to find out too late that she laid in there >.<

Put a sheet over the cage and let her be for a while

I am honored, sir! I hope that she enjoys it and calms down for ya!

Day two and its not any better, she is still hiding in her plant. Not black but not her normal pink. It is like a dusty dull pink. She is awake but just in her plant. No signs of digging or moving at all. She is also in a no traffic room. Only time she sees traffic is when I go in their to spray or get on my computer. Any thoughts? Do females tend to hide and stay in one spot when they are gravid? And yes I do have a bin set up. Its been set up since I got her.

She looks a little round. She might be carrying eggs. You can try feeling her tummy to see if you can feel any eggs. Other than an x ray all you can do is have the laying bin ready and be prepared. If she starts showing any signs of going down hill then I would take her to the vets.
