Hi everyone,
No, I didn't go anyplace. But my female quad Garadean did.
She is finally back from her vacation in sunny Florida.
Luis did a great job with her. So did Dr Alfonso.
She was treated for a cut/bruised lip and had x-rays taken as we thought she was gravid with fused eggs.
Turns out she was just fat...well, maybe.
(Slight ranting, and should be taken lightly and with humor)
Upon taking her out and putting her inside her cage I noticed that she was a lot thinner.
Far too thin for just a week on a diet. (Sadly I never weighed her before sending her.)
Her belly is "flat" and not nearly as round as I remember.
I am in no way saying Dr. Alfonso is wrong, but I still think that she may have laid half her remaining eggs at Luis'. (Don't drive yourself crazy bro, but if you re-plant what is inside her cage you used, don't be surprised if you find 4-8 eggs.)
Again, her ventral crest is mega flat compared to what I sent. Heck, her belly now comes down to a "V" shape, when before it was round from her neck to her hind legs...round like a football, no "V" for a belly.
But I don't blame luis if he missed this.
I believe that she may have already laid half her clutch about 8 to 10 days before I sent her and she lost half her size. (But I could still "see" 2-3 eggs and she was a TON fatter then what I got her back as.)
So she may have only laid 4-6 eggs in Florida.
The difference in my eyes is huge as I know her well, but if she did lay on the first day or the second, luis may not have even noticed the difference...it's that slight depending if she was or wasn't puffed up.
On the other hand, Dr A says she could never have been gravid in the past few months as she was too healthy and strong.
So I must be wrong...won't be the first time.
(Rant over)
The flip side is that she is super healthy and semi skinny due to being at Luis' fat farm for Quads. :0
Oh, and no surgery means she can have babies!
Oh, I almost forgot....
While hunting for silkies, Tarzan was roaming his cage.
He noticed something by the front of his cage.
This was no monkey, no lion, no food.
No, this was a baby female Quad named Jane.
Jane is so cute. Quite colorful. Totally unreal.
Sorry for no photos right now but my computer is down.
Yet more info is coming.
I'm so excited that I can't wait for the lights to come on in the morning. Hehe
Thanks Luis.
