The belly looks like a whole soccer crew, perhaps even punctually to the EM!

I have unfortunately no experiences with Naultinus, but the indications/arguments are very powerful.
Many fun Nicolas!

Hi Nicolas
As I mentioned in one of the previous comments, paplation can be a reliable way to tell if your female if gravid.....and even what stage of her pregnancy she is at (if you are good enough). Hold the animal in one hand and place your thumb on her back and index finger on the belly just infront of the pelvis. Palpate softly and if the female is in G3 (gestation stage 3/late pregnancy) you will feel two hard heads on either sider of the midline. I must stress how gentle the action is, however it is a very reliable method if executed correctly.
Good luck

Hi Nic,
it is not necessary to do the procedure which NZ Herpz wrote. She is gravid for sure and if you observe her for a while if she climb in the plant you can see at the belly where the young lies. Now her body look like a fruit (pear ). The last week be for the babies will born you can observe that the female often sit in the plant how an buoy. These are the signs of a gravid female.
Regards Gerhard

I dont think the procedure is to scientific. It just brings handling and stress to an animals when its not necessary. If she'd experience medical problems, then yes...Handling is okay (in my opinion)
