gravid veiled spots?

snakeman5124 Jul 27, 2003 11:29 PM

well my female veiled over the last week has begun to develop greenish blue spots, i have heard this means she's gravid but i think she is too small she's only about 3-4 inches snout to vent is this big enough to be gravid?. also is it normal at this size that when stretched way out or puffing up to be able to see outlines of ribs? if not should i just feed her more to "bulk up"? thanks a lot. JK
