Sorry I've been away for a while. We took her to the vet recently and we're monitoring her eggs. She seems to be reabsorbing them right now, but we're still trying to be sure. She's going back to the vet in a week or two for another xray.



When we were at the vet last, we got a blood test. That came back normal. I'm going to bring in a stool sample next week so they can check that too. It's been hard to lately because she keeps pooping in her water.



Urates are still green. They have been every time she's pooped since I posted.



She is visibly overweight. Her scales mid-body don't overlap and you can see her fat bump on her belly in her middle.



She has been eating. I've only been offering her one mouse a week, though. Less than I was before. So it's be difficult to gauge her appetite. She's not refused any food for a while or been hesitant to eat, though, so I assume it's not too bad.



Still haven't gotten anywhere with the bleeding issue. I'm going to really push addressing that next time we go.



The vets say she's otherwise healthy. She's responsive, active (not overly active), and friendly (as friendly as a snake can be, at least).



I can't figure out how to post a picture on here, so I copied the URL to the video of her shedding that I uploaded a couple weeks ago. It's the most recent "picture" I have of her, anyways.
