Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Gravid, or.... ?
Okay, 39 days ago Licorice, my banded cal king, laid a clutch of 15 eggs. Today she is blue for her post egg laying shed. She is also very "Girthy". She was bred 12 days ago and again 10 days ago. Her last meal was 11 days ago and she refused the meal I offered five or six days ago.
I figure she's either gravid already (so why did she breed?) or she could use a little more "Lovin".... But I am just not sure. She certainly did not read the manual on when she should have her post egg laying shed.
Should I feed her after she sheds and then put her with the male after she's had time to digest?
If she refuses food should I not put the male with her in case she is getting ready to lay another clutch?
I was worried a bit that she might have some problem so I put her with the same male (all her first clutch of eggs died about a week to ten days after being laid). Would it muddy the waters if I were to put her with another male? (ie perhaps there is some incompatibility between her and her high white mate, that would be masked as a causation, if I were to cross her to my other cal king). I probably will (now that I think about it) not put the other male in with her. He may be a little less "used" this year, but it's better to be sure about what is causing the problems, or as sure as possible. If she has another dud clutch then next year I'll put her with a completely different male (maybe even my jurassic milk?) so as to be certain if it is her own failing that keeps her from producing a clutch, a genetic aberrancy, or what.
Hopefullly it was just a once only thing that caused the eggs to die (AC failure while she was gravid), and her next clutch is more successful in hatching out.

Major Frustration....
I'll never have this puzzle solved.... I was expecting her to lay eggs, she gave every sign of being gravid, and then she escaped! ARGH
