Is it possible...

[DeathsPyro12]

For my female H.Lividum to be pregnant? I haven't bred her but maybe she was wild caught, the guy I bought her from at the reptile show on September 4th or 5th never said, so keep in mind thats 3 months and seeing her maybe 4 times, I have not fed her for 2 weeks and when I went in to feed her today I could kinda see down the burrow a little and there she was, and some how she had gotten even fatter! I knew she was digging alittle more but I thought it was maybe because she was finally getting used to the enclosure and everything. So is it possible?

Has she molted since you had her?

If not, yes.. it's possible! A lot of Ts will also get fatter with premolt... but you can try "candling" her (if you do a search, it'll explain it.. but basically, it's holding a light to the abdomen to see if it glows yellow, meaning she is full of eggs)

It has to be an LED torch though for it to work

No molt so....oh boy! This could be interesting! Pre-molt is possible, but her abdomen isn't getting any darker, just even more fat. I would try the thing with the light but I would rather not try getting her out of the enclosure for that just yet.

A gravid T is always a possibility. If she is, she should be eating like crazy. Feed her as much as she will take, just don't leave prey in there in case it is premolt, not pregnancy
