UPDATE -
I think it’s safe to assume NONE of the 4 females I bred back in August 6th - Aug 11th and then in beginning of September, are gravid .
We are going on almost 3 months here !
I can’t see why or how ALL 4 that I witnessed have NUMEROUS LOCKS with FERTILE PROVEN breeder males, end up NOT takin or ABORBING the eggs , when they were gravid I saw all the signs and weight gain in each one AND felt eggs while feeding and monitoring each individual female !!
It blows my mind !
V***n and Venus do not look gravid anymore.
Sweetpea and Pandora do look gravid trangular shape rounded at bottom aggressive eating weight gain after breeding visual lumps from eggs and was able to physically feel them
Listen I’m not stupid I can tell when females are gravid compared to ovulation
I don’t understand what is going on
None of the 4 are at all in any physical distress from dystocia
Never in 9 years has this happened to me
I’ve had first time females go max two months after locking but never almost 3 now .
By tge end of the month if I get no eggs from anyone I may try AGAIN !
I’m Pretty friggen BUMMED out as I’ve been waiting YEARS to breed Sweetpea Pandora and v***n they were ones I was so incredibly excited for .
I’ve gone through all the check lists far as my husbandry goes feeding substrate temps everything and everything is exactly how it should be .
Keep in mind these are females I’ve raised since hatchlings that I bought and NEVER have BRUMATED so they don’t know that routine other than their natural clock . So it’s not like I brumated them stopped and now they are all screwed up .
Even if they didn’t take in August and waited till early - mid September by now I should be seeing extremely obvious signs they are about to lay
So they have absorbed or something
Frustrating 😑😏🤷🏻♀️
