Someone offered me a nice looking 45 Lb female that they claim is gravid by a 8 lb male. That looks impossible to me, but I have never worked with sulcatas. Wouldn't that size differential rule out penetration? Opinions please. Thanks.

How do they know she's gravid? Can they palpate eggs? Was an X-ray taken? While I wouldn't rule out conception because of the size difference, it doesn't seem likely.
... on a side note, I sure did see alot of adult sulcatta's in roadside petting zoos when I was in WI. No heat or shelter for most've them.
