Just wondering about my females, I have 2 Russians and 2 eastern Hermanns. All have had coitus but never seen any signs of being gravid. They're all over 6 inches (less than 7) and the male Russian is 6 inches and my male Hermann almost 6. Without getting x-rays is there any other way to tell if they are gravid? I've tried sticking my finger in the back leg pit? Feeling for eggs but don't feel anything (not that I truly know what I'm feeling for). I assume I would feel a hard lump. I've provided a nesting box with 50/50 mix like I've read. Put the night light over it on all the time for extra heat and keep it moist for digging. I know that it's also a waiting game but I have had them over three years so I'm assuming they should be getting comfortable in the environment that I have created for them. They do get to spend summer outside, so I guess they might of laid outside without my knowledge but I only have a few spots that they can really dig in. The rest is gravel and hard Ohio clay. If they did lay outside I bet the cold and wet killed the eggs. Or are they still to small to lay eggs? And what size can a marginated become gravid? She's around 7 inches but never have I seen the male mount her. Just wondering because I'd really like to try the next step of hatching an egg. Any feedback would be great.
