Hers's another who I suspect (and hope) is in the family way .... she must have had a quicky outside as I've not spotted her boyfriend inside the house.

She's either pregnant or she's thriving. Hoping for a gang of mini-Lizzys in a few months - thiingers crossed.
Still early days after the prelay, but I've got the lay box and moss in her enclosure and tonight I moved the dreamtime incubator inside and sterilised it after its time in the garage.
I'll fire it up in a couple of days after all cleaning fluid is totally dry and any fumes well and truly gone. There's no rush, as she is nowhere near laying. I just like to be sure everything is ready well in advance in case something needs to be changed.
Post lay weight was 2825g.
She is almost 7yrs old though, so has maturity. Her eggs were as large as 57g each!
Imagine if she only laid normal sized Darwin eggs at 34-44g each? That would be a big clutch.
A few of my fat bottom girls. Please excuse the mess in the albinos cage. It was too good a shot to miss so I cleaned her cage after getting the photo.

Pretty sure my girl here is gravid from all signs I've had, just waiting on pre-lay any time now I guess as I missed ovulation :\
Yeah it must be the cooler weather affecting her. I hope she drops soon for me as im away again next week. In the 2 years i have been breeding these I have never had one go this long.
