How about this one?



Has anyone ever seen this? I have a Peruvian Red Tail female. She is 8 years old this year. She was born here. This year I bred her for the first time. She is 6.5' long. She bred just like she was supposed to. She ovulated "by the book". She ovulated March 26th. She had her P.O.S. on April 12th just like clockwork. She is due July 26th. That's tomorrow but there is one odd thing I have not mentioned yet. About a week ago I noticed she was turning opaque. Two days ago she was at the peak of "opaqueness". Fully opaque. She looks perfect other than this one tiny little "not by the book" little discrepancy. She ate throughout the pregnancy like most of my females do. She has lost a lot of weight up front like the females that have good litters always do. Her backbone is sticking way up as she looks perfect, absolutely perfect to deliver a nice litter of little gems. All except this opaque thing. Now I think she will shed in three or four days, take a little poop and just have the babies right there but who knows? I and she have never been here before and I am wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen to one of their animals before.



What are your predictions?
