Does Carmie look overweight?

[ghettomike]

I just got a digital scale to weigh Carmie and she came in at 166 grams. I did a search of female veiled weights and from what I read she is definately on the high end of what they weigh. She doesn't appear to me to be overweight but I would like some opinions on what more experienced members think. Oh ya, she is approx a year old now and is fed a wide variety of feeders every other or sometimes 3 days. thanks.

Carmie looks fine. She a beautiful little lady!

Nice cham! She looks healthy

I think she is fine and looks great!

How much are you feeding her when she does get fed? Your intervals are good and she should be able to sustain a healthy weight if fed 6 appropriate sized crickets or equivalent to every 2 or 3 days.

until she starts getting bulemic, i wouldnt worry! (ya know like eating a lot of crickets and then throwing up in the cham toilet)
(this isnt supposed to offend...just joke)

I'm in no way an expert...but could those bumps be eggs?

 

[tigress4529]

those look like her ribs...theyre "flexible" and could look like protrusions but if u think it could be do u have the laying sand for her? not sure of the setup myself...ask one of the experts on here

no I dont think they are eggs, its just the angle the pic was taken on. She has not shown any signs of being gravid but I do have a laying bin just in case. that is why I am starting to chart her weight, so I can tell by weight gain if she becomes gravid and I miss other subtle signs.

As long as you have a bin in there. Keep an eye out for digging. I'm pretty sure her ribs are not located right by her back leg.

not to be a bubble buster...but when ruru had to lay eggs she didnt show any signs except slowing on eating but even that wasnt much of a change she went to eating 6 crickets to about 4. and one day she just decided to start digging ... i was kind of in shock lol

If you look at the second picture in ruru's link, it is very familiar seeming...
