Well, I decided that I hadn't taken weights in a couple weeks on my gravid females. Both females had been steadily gaining weight since they laid on 4/12 for the WC female I got from Marcus and 4/17 for the WC female brought back from Cameron Highlands.
Post egg laying weight of the first female (F1) was 15.3 g on 4/12
5/10 - 19.3 g eggs seen in abdomen
5/24 - 18.8 g (down a little, but had a big fecal in the cage, could see eggs)
6/9 - 21.7 g -she's absolutely bulging and will probably lay with in the week.
Catch weight of the Cameron Highland female (F2) was 18 g on 4/4
Post egg laying weight of F2 was 14.4 g on 4/17
5/10 - 18.4
5/24 - 19.4 though eggs were evident..
6/9 - 18.9 but eggs don't look present, don't think it's possible she laid and gained back that much weight..
Temps at work are still on the cool side. 67-73.. wondering what happened.. and if I should give her a couple more weeks because she was just "disguising them well".. she was very dark..
Any thoughts?
