Gravid??

[Lloyd Heilbrunn]

Or just puffed up?

She was sitting in the plant pot the last two days so I swapped the pot for a laying bin. Looks a bit bigger than she was, but still eating and not roaming.

Your thoughts?

My guess is she is gravid. Looks like you can see outlines of eggs in her stomach. Good luck!!!

Thanks.

Anyone else?

She's even bigger now, and starting to move around the cage.


Still eating though, so I guess it will still be awhile.

I say gravid as well. From what I have read about them (was interested in getting them at one time), they might need a few different bins, and may want/need different material in each (dirt in one, sand in other). Is this from a captive breeding, or she came in gravid?

If you feel lightly enough you might be able to feel them...

I agreed with the world, she is gravid. Does she have a problem with her back? It looks like a strange spot.

I've set up a 5L bin with playsand. I don't really have room for another. If she starts roaming more, and not eating, but is not using it, I'll try other substrates.

About some of the other questions:

I don't know if she came in gravid or mated at the reptile store where she was housed with the male.

I don't see a problem with her back at this time, I just think her scales were changing from dorsal to caudel at that point. But it could be a healed scrape too.

I don't think I need to palpate now, she looks huge.
