Every so often I find my gravid green (Anna Banana) completely relaxed and slightly rolled like this. Until now I haven’t been able to get a decent photo. On Wednesday night, June 3, at about 10:30 I was making my last round through the reptile room and was able to get these shots and had to share them. When she relaxes like this it really exaggerates her girth. I estimate that she is about one month from parturition. Watching this unfold over the last few month has been a great experience. I’ve been fortunate to work with a number of species, but working with greens has to be one of the most rewarding experiences a herper could have.
