Ok, I am new to these shrimp, or they are new to me.
Either way, I have some questions:
Does this shrimp have a saddle?
If so, how long from saddle, to berried, to born?
Just curious,
Thanks

It looks like you can just see food in her intestines. /shrug
When my females get saddles they look yellow and are quite a bit more prominent. Sort of like a yellow band around the middle, and they look just like a real saddle would on a horse (shape wise)
 
i think it looks saddled, its just a really dark shrimp. You can see the triangular shape.

To answer your question, typically 2-3 weeks from saddle to berry, then about another 3 weeks from berry to hatch.
