Hello everyone, I have a question.

I received an unwanted female, age unknown, of considerable size, " 6'+ and BEEFY". Well the guy I got her from said she was housed with a redtail at the previous owners property and they we're seen mating. Now I know that one is a live bearer versus the egg-laying of balls. But for the last week she's been laying inverted. COMPLETELY inverted. Her body tenses up in certain spots, and then releases. I've read that this is a habit of a gravid female. But I guess my real question is. What should I be doing......

I have her in a large sterilite, with belly heat. Humidity is around 70 "I'm in South Fl, it's always humid...". My husbandry is up to par, I've kept my oldest going on 14 years now, and I have several other morphs that I've acquired through the years. It's just this has me perplexed.


She shed about a month ago, and hasn't wanted anything to eat since about a week before that.


ANY help qwould be greatly appreciated.

I know I'm a little here and there with my explination, but it's 2am and I just got off work........
