Gravid?

jdillow Apr 07, 2007 11:52 PM

What does a gravid female look like? She looks like Jabba the Hut. But at the same time, more deflated looking. Here is a picture. The lights are off so it's a little dark. I'll get a better shot tomorrow. P.O.S. says she is due to drop on or around the 13th. Just wondering since she hasn't eaten since about Oct. and she still looks like this.

from that pic.....no........but I can't see her tail end......her backbone isn't sticking out from what I see.....

...they get fatter on the belly yet thinner on the top...at times they look like all their weight dropped and is hanging from the spine more.....and you can feel and see the backbone more.........and the rear half will look like they are gonna pop...

....I have some that are eating again and not looking gravid at all.....yet some of them may grow and drop later.........we still have 4 months till some drop....

keep feeding them and breeding them till they drop eggs,,,,,,,,
