Alright guys I'm a first time ray breeder and looking for some answers. I have done my fair share of searching/reading. However, i am not finding exaxtly what i need.
I'm seeing pup movement in my female MM. Not crazy rapid movement, more of a slow movement. I think there is just a single pup in there. We are about 80 days from the morning I found the sperm plug. So my queations are... When should I expect birth to happen? Around 90 days? What are some average pregnancy times in your guys experience with mm's?
Thanks in advance.

Around 95 days.
 
My Motoro had her second litter 120 days after her first. Wasn't exactly sure about her first pregnancy, but it was close to that as well.
 
7 months!?!? Holy #$&@! Worth the wait though!
Thanks for the responses. Looks like its going to be a guessing game. Just as I thought... I would imagine temp plays a role in the gestation length as well.

My hystrix was 7 months too.
 
7 months that can't be right the first time you saw breeding must have been a no go and he bred again later on

That's like a human giving birth to a 9 month old baby when anything breeds its not guarantied hit

I have trouble seeing movement as it looks like the females feet are doing the moving

I would say 100-130 days is normal
