Will You Pop Already!

After following your other thread and this one for several months now, I was expecting to see a lumpy tennis ball with feet and I'm just not seeing that in your pics. What I'm seeing is a big female, not an overweight female, but a big female. You have mentioned she does still eat and female xantholophus do like their food and will overeat if given the opportunity. Also too, in my experience with the ovoviviparous chameleons, the females do take on a heavy look almost as soon as they are mated but as gestation progresses the weight does shift towards their backend and they tend to perch and sleep in upwards facing positions because of the weight in their lower half. Even is posed 'outside of the cage' pics like the ones you've posted, her backend should be lower than her front and she's sitting normally (horizontally) in all of them.

For your sake I hope I'm wrong.
