Gravid b-tongue?

[NickGeee]

Hello APS,
I have had a eastern that "supposedly" mated around December...
She is a ill chubby but it doesn't seem to be as big as the other pics that get around the forum...

Pregnant or just we'll fed.
Thanks

In foal I reckon.

Especially if it is kept outdoors in Victoria.

Thanks, yeah she is kept outdoors

130 days give or take from first mating until birthing takes place. I think she was nailed before December. Because she looks further along than 60-70 days.

Has she sloughed recently?

It was either September or November, she sloughed less then a week ago.

I remember witnessing our bluey's first birthing years ago,it certainly turned a bad day into something magical

Roughly how long from shed to droping ?

Anytime from a week or three post slough, sometimes longer.

Thanks Rory, I'll keep an eye out.

December is pretty late in the year to be mating especially for an outside common bluey. Most give birth in late December and January. You'd be looking around April at the earliest.

We had some babies in the hoarder the other week. This is one that had out dog bailed up (that was a joke but the dog was in the corner when I seen she was whimpering that's why I went out the back)

 

[RoryBreaker]

Indoors you can change the timing. This season I had a female mated on the 25,26 and 28th of July. She gave birth on the 3rd of November. Babies are fed everyday, and now look like this.

 

[RoryBreaker]

That skink popped yet, Nick?

Good luck with it, I haven't had luck getting our blueys to mate, the female is too dominent and will more often end up on top of the male rather than the other way around, they have shown they know when it's breeding time and have seen them try plenty at that time of the year.
Think I might need to stick her with a more experienced male to get the first brood and for her to learn what to do.

Look forward to seeing the pics of your bubs

No... Phantom pregnancy?

 

[-Peter]

There are fat deposits around the lower body cavity that get quite large in captive bluetongues. So if the tail is nice and fat it may be that.

No... Phantom pregnancy?

Are you seeing any heavy breathing?

Not my vid but its a good example of Gravid bluey heavy breathing.
