Preparing Birth

[AstonN24vantage]

hi i have a convict as you all know that is pregnant. i need to know if there are any tips, any information or products to buy. thnx

How do you know she is pregnant (gravid)? Do you have a male? If she does lay eggs and they get fertilized you pretty much sit back and watch the parents do the work. Unless it is their first time, then they may eat the eggs/wigglers.

she has an orange gravid spot and she does have a mate.

Most female convicts have an orange spot on the belly even if they are not gravid. Is her breeding tube down? Is she cleaning a site? Those would indicate she is ready to lay eggs. And don't be suprised if they eat them if it is their first time!

yep she is cleaning a site. she looks ready

Get the relaxing music ready, remind her to breath, and I think she will be fine. If she asked for the drugs you have to give her what she wants. J/K.

How exciting, Enjoy.
