My female cynops has changed a bit lately. Her cloaca has changed, it´s bigger.
Also she has spent the whole day on the elodea, and has been acting like if she was laying eggs. No eggs though...but crearly it´s a laying behaviour, she grabs leafs and puts the cloaca between them.
I didn´t expect her to be gravid (if she is), but she does look fat(she has eaten a lot lately so she just could be fat, not gravid), and this new behaviour it´s too suspicious.
At this point i take for granted she is indeed gravid, but it´s not 100% sure, is it??
Do they act like this normally? acting like laying eggs without laying them??
Maybe some kind of preparatory stuff??
Here is a pic of her today...crappy pick....couldn´t take a decent one, but i hope you can see her cloaca and the new shape it has.
