Deep breathing from gravid females

Postby Helikaon » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:33 am

hey guys, probably had similar threads done before but for anyone interested in what i mean when i mention deep breathing as a sign of the female being gravid. here is a pic showing just that, shes about 4 weeks off due id say you can see the other female in the back doing the same both are about to have their pre birth sheds. their appetite although still large is starting to reduce now as well due to lack of space, both these girls should have numbers in the mid teens i would say.

Yeah, once you see the xrays you realise why they breath like that. Not much room left in there when they are about to pop.
