hey all,
I have a feeling my female woma is gravid. Yes its weird time of year and yes they have been kept very warm and never cooled. I maybe wrong, the male has been with the female around a month ago when i was working on his enclosure, the mated straight away which isnt unusal for horny woma's but now the female has been looking increasingly swollen from around 3/4 of her body. She has been more active in last week and laying straight in enclosure instead of her usual all over the place. She also refused her last meal, she last shed around 3 weeks ago so dont think she is going to be shedding.
I am after your experience with woma breeding as this is / maybe first woma clutch. Do you think she could be etc? She hasnt been lying belly up or even close to doing that its early days??
Also problem i face is iam moving 600km in two weeks via car...the rest of my collection will be going via plane. However if the female is gravid ( which im hoping not) how or what do i do in terms of travel with her? I know car or plane cant be good but what is some opinions?
Thanks alot
 
If she is already looking plump chances are she will drop before 2 weeks time. Otherwise you will just have to pack her tightly and try not to shake her around. She should be fine.
Eggs will probably die too.
 
If she is gravid a plane trip will do no harm.
 
she was only with the male a month ago...so she just looks swollen atm. Plane is best option? thanks for the advise
