So i received this pretty lady 12 days ago and when i first got her i was concerned she might be pregnant. She looks chubby to me and i can see pin head size bumps around her belly when she turns or moves. I was told she layed a clutch about a month ago so i think she may have retained some sperm. I set up a laying bin at the bottom with 1/3 sand/soil. She hasnt went near the laying bin except once when i caught her on the ground beside it. She usually stays at the top of the enclosure on the right or left vine. I have left her alone for a day or more with a towel over the cage but she barely moves from the top. And no i dont look in every hour i would give it 5-6.
This is when i first received her

At rest she is a peach/red color and if i get to close she will get dark stripes. So i tend to stay my distance :). Im just wondering if i should see a vet or if she looks fine to all of you experts. Any tips or advice is much appreciated
Thanks,

SHe looks fine.
it took my female almost 3 months to lay her second clutch after she laid her first.

give her time, and if you see any lethargy, sleeping, falling, weak legs, then you can go to a vet.
 
Is she eating and drinking normally? If she has laid one clutch hopefully she'll do it again with no problems. Keep us posted. She does look chubby but who am I to say.:eek:
