It's now 4 months since Thomasina was mated to Rifraf (and still he hasn't called....) but I'm still not sure whether she's gravid (pregnant) or just putting on weight. She has a very hearty appetite and eats at least weekly, so she's quite likely to be just a little hefty, but she does feel very firm when handled.
Here are a few pics - see if you can work it out!
October 2009, the blushing bride before mating
January 2010, 2 month after separation
February 2010, 3 months after separation
Early March 2010, 3.5 months after separation
Late March 2010, 4 months after separation (and just fed)
And here is Lilith - a smaller female, unmated, also having just fed, for comparison.
Any opinions can be left in comments - guess we'll know for sure about June or July.

Pregnant or not?

From here, which is oceans away, she certainly looks gravid. The swelling is in the right spot to support that idea, for sure. Best of luck, I've got my fingers crossed for you and for her :)
Thanks NCRF, hope you're right, maybe I should run a sweepstakes!
