Concerned about betty

This could be signs of her being gravid and I hope they are but figured I would bring it to the forums to find out for sure. She has gotten better from the black spot on her back area for those who remember that but now she has really loose saggy skin almost like a bulge but there is nothing there. No fluid or anything more like an air pocket in her front chest region like near her front legs. Pictures are better but I hear this also may be signs of her being gravid. If it is something more though I would like to know and take care of her ASAP.

Looks like Gular edema, it is pretty common in gravid females I believe. I would just make sure she's hydrated and supplemented correctly and I would try and get her some natural rays, as much as possible.

Okay that's what I thought.

my little guy had a similar problem a while back,he also had bumps under his arms. im pretty sure i was over supplementing. I reduced the amount of dust per feeding and upped the mist, and eventually it went away. although it did take a while... also lots of trips into real sunlight helped. dont panic i was in the same boat and with proper care its manageable seeing as i havnt seen it again since.
good luck!

If she is gravid you are walking a fine line. You can't cut out all supplements but I personally would go to only plain calcium, then lightly. I think the edema will go alway.

That really is one hot mama.

Not cutting out supplements. Her schedule for supplements are fine. Only thing that could stand to change is more sunlight and hydration.
