A new one for me

[Rockmonky]

Ok so here is the long and short of if (more long)
I was planning on starting to brumate in a few weeks. Some of my girls needed a little longer to get some weight on.

So I had another corny lover over last weekend and was showing her my critters and I was looking at my Blood het stripe girl and noticed that she was looking a little lumpy. I can actually feel something in there, I am wondering if they might even be eggs from retained sperm, or is she just ovulating early?

Here is my Quandary.
Last year this girl gave me a very bad clutch with only 3 eggs going full term and 2 of them kinked in half. That was with brumation, so I am very hesitant to breed her with out brumating.

Second is that her boy friend has 2-3 other girls to meet after brumation.

Third is if in fact they are eggs, it would be bad news if I cool her and she tries to pass them.


I'm thinking it would be a good idea to keep her up for a few more weeks and see if she is gaining more weight and size than she should be.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks, TIM
