Hey guys, after keeping the olives together for a while, i really needed to clean up the cage, so i did, and i'm pretty confused with the female...

It seems like that snake is really messing with me :P.

Here she is, in her dirty cage, notice how fat she looks, quite encouraging for breeding :


Now, i put her in a containment bin in the meanwhile... look how thin and skinny she seems...


Again, after i washed her :


And another one...


So yeah, i'm seriously confused. If she contracts her muscles, she looks skinnier than she's ever been. If she relaxes, then it looks like she's fat.

Actually, the front part of her body seems thinner, in my opinion, than usual while the rest seems a little bit larger but wow, maybe i'm making it up... Maybe there's just nothing happenning. Maybe my female olive is just playing with my sanity :P.

Here's what she looked like about 3 weeks ago with the male :




phil.
