Possibly gravid?

I have a female hognose that I got at around 250g. I put her with one of my males a couple weeks ago and has been gaining weight, so I'm not sure if shes gravid or just hit a growth spurt. She was 261g last Sunday and I just weighed her at 286g. She deficated yesterday so I'm assuming the food is out of her system.

Re: Possibly gravid?

It takes more than a couple of weeks for a female to really become gravid in any species. She could be gaining based on diet but also due to building towards becoming gravid.

If you want babies, keep pairing.
