I have a female P. laticauda that seems to have a huge calcium sac on only one side of her neck. She seems healthy otherwise. I supplement with vitamins and calcium regularly and supply good uv/heat light. She eats well: crickets and baby food. This didn't happen over night, I actually just got her a few weeks ago with this obvious lop-sidedness. Is this common? I wouldn't worry about it if it was on both sides, and I loaned my copy of McKoewen out so I can't access it. I'd post a pic, but I haven't figured that task out yet.
Thanks to anyone with input
