Lacy in her lay box 2 weeks into being gravid showing some good color(although she is going into her pre egg laying shed right now)


Carrot head carrot tail tangerine jungle giant female..desperatly waiting for her to ovulate..she just finished sheeding about a minute befor this picture was taken showing some great "AFTER SHED" coloring


Titan the piggo looking for food


and a group shot of 13 out of 15 females(2 were shedding and not showing any good color)

They look great!

But what do you mean with "waiting to ovulate?"

thanks

well the female has to ovulate befor any eggs are produced, they will get egg folicles which look like pinkish white gllubular thing sin their bellies, this would be the time to put her in with a male, this way eggs withh definatly be produced

Why not put her with the male now if she is of exceptable weight? The only time I do it your way is when I have males which are still growing but the females are ready. I have put several femles with males this year which wheren't ovulating yet and have seen a good number that ovilated withing 10 days of being with the males.

Many are far more noticabe than this one.

Cool, I didn't noticed that. I shall check my females tonight

Xavier, i have been thinking about putting them together, but in my experience with group breeding and high colored animals, they tend to fade out alot more than they do when kept seperatly, introduced, mate, and then seperated again, the male has bred to 2 females so far and hasnt lost his color

if she does not ovulate in the next 5 days then i will put them together and see how it goes

Man, you just keep throwing pics of my leo in my face. Its just not fair.

Nice leos Dan! I really like that group shot. It just shows how diverse leos have become. Excellent work!

Thats a good point! I bet they will mate for you right now and you can then separate them. I have one female which didn't ovilate but I bred her several times to a male, I just put them together for a few minutes they bred 4 times like this and I have gotten 4 eggs so far with 2 more on the way She ovilated a couple weeks after the inital breeding.
