[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 321364, member: 6680"] I would stay away from the word pregnant because that implies that the nymphs are maturing inside her and they aren't yet. I would use the word gravid referring to is she holding eggs and yes she is very gravid! Since she is wild caught, there is a chance that she has mated already and is just putting on more size. Keep feeding her regularly and she can probably eat more than you think, helps her get the nutrition she needs to lay her ooths. You can't guarantee the fertility of the eggs, but I would just keep feeding her and let her do her thing! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
