Gravid females...

[Denny Teasdale]

Newbie question here and I'm judging you already know what it is going by the title...

How will I know when Roxy my G. rosea is gravid...? I so desperately want to breed her (purely to save the wild ones and she's a lovely colour) and I would like to know what to watch for (if anything) or is it a case of it's so blatantly obvious it's unmistakable...?

I've never noticed any particular behaviour to show they're gravid apart from the increase in abomen size, they dont really show any difference in eating, shifting stuff around or the like.
if she goes the distance then one day you'll be wondering if she's making a moulting mat or laying down silk to drop the eggs
You'll only really be 100% sure she was when she produces a sac to be honest.

Thanks for that Colin...she's not gravid yet, I was just asking for future reference...
