Do Jaguars lay eggs?

I don't know if its a boy or girl but she is really pink!

mine is about 7-8" long and she is REALLY fat in front of her caudal fin. She has been digging this hole in the rock and trying to pull big rocks aside and make this cave she has successfully done just this and she backed her self into her home made cave and is just sitting there wiggling around. Its really cool to watch.

OOO p.s. shes been really mellow lately. Eating a ton too!
 
Sorry....yeah they lay eggs and it sounds like yours wants to. How big is the tank? If it's big enough you could find her a boyfriend and get some babies out of the two. Got a picture?
 
Sounds very much like what my Female Jag did before she layed a clutch of eggs! It's quite hard to explain the difference between Male and Female.Although girls tend to be smaller and rounder and males a little more streamlined. Any chance of a picture?
Oh and if she does lay eggs make sure you remove them as you don't want them rotting! Good luck!
 
Swimdude, here are a couple of pics of Jags at 8 inches.
The top one is the Male, the bottom one Female. And the last pic is just to answer your very first question...yes, Jags do lay eggs!

WOW! ok if you look at that first pic and then you look at the female look at the difference in their tails. Mail has more of a triangle tail were female have an oval tail like mine. And yep shes laying eggs. all over my tank not just in one spot....:grinno: anyone selling a male about the same size?
