normal gestation period is 90-120 days. they generally shed about a week before birth....but can shed more than once during the gestation period....My red sider went pretty much the whole 120 days last summer, shed once, waited about 3 weeks and she shed again, then had her babies next week. look forward to the photos!!

well, I'll say around 25-20....easterns have smaller babies and larger litters.
