how long is too long being Preggers

[maddy]

i have a leo, she is very chunky . i beleve she is 4 weeks pregenant now. i took her to the vets last week and she said there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with her.

just wondering how long is too long?

thanks

really, anything after 5 weeks is too long. just kep an eye on her, try not to disturb her, you'll notice when she's going to lay, she'll shed her skin, start pulling all the lay medium out her tub and generally trashing the place digging, stop eating, usually (this is for mine) after two days of not eating they lay.

as Kirsten said 5 weeks seems to be about the latest before they start trashing the viv prior to laying though I have had females go longer. When did you seperate her from the male?

[maddy]

they was only together for 5 mins heh and the deed was done

they was seperated after that about 4 weeks ago.

he has started not eating yesterday and today so im expecting the time is near

i was getting so worried for her. its her first time too..

yeah sounds like they are coming. check the tub tonight before you go to bed and again in the morning. this is what i do, so i know the eggs haven't been there for more than the length of time i've been asleep. less chance of missing them and them going off before you get to them to incubate them.
