    Blue puget female ....

    Well, my 2009 blue puget female has been off food for the past two months. She has been drinking water and soaking occasionally. Nothing really atypical, looking basically the same with no weight loss or gain. Been steady at around 306 gms since I've had her. I know the seller had brumated her for 2 months b4 I bought her. Okay, so I'm thinking maybe she is gravid from retained sperm at this point. Especially when she wouldn't take a tiny earthworm. All the husbandry has been spot on. Ambients at 84f , warm side (back of tub) 88f , cool side (front of tub) 82f. Humidity 58%. What's going on?? She decided it's time to drop slugs! For the past 3 hours she has been pushing out these small yellow slugs. Talk about disappointed. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I guess that is when she'll be finished.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Absolutely, I am talking to a few people now. Made it known how important it is. We'll see! Thanks for the feelings about the slugs.

    Sorry bout the jellies, glad to hear it sounds like she's passing them fine though. Hopefully she'll be right as rain for next season.

    Sorry to hear about the slugs, we really need to get some pugets breeding, hobby is running low on quality males. Everyone I know only has females.

    Thanks Rush, yeah, so far so good on the passing. Exactly, hoping the same thing with next season.

    Tyvm Z, so true about the shortage of blue puget males. One of the people who was breeding them said quite a few of them were w/c and were difficult to breed in captivity. Don Belnap said something quite similar recently. I am definitely on the hunt. The captive hunt for now.

    blue3.jpgThis is what the slug droppings appeared like as of this morning.blue2.jpgblue1.jpg I believe she is finished. Took her out the tub and let her soak for about 40 minutes. The abdominal contractions had subsided b4 I placed her in to soak so I don't really know if she is completely finished or not. As of ten minutes ago there is no contractions or slugs in the tub.
