I am discouraged, but at the same time I have a 4 year old surinam that may be gravid (had a shed yesterday which if she did take, will be her post-ovulation shed). So I hope the same issue doesn't happen - but the surinam is older and larger than my hog island was.

I will definitely wait until any females are 3 years old or more (DeeDee was 2.5 years old when I introduced the male to her) to be safer. I will post with the results of the necropsy when it gets in, but it seems likely that she had slugs, and had one hard one that got stuck.
