Gravid Nicaraguan

Amiemac9 Mar 16, 2008 12:02 PM

Well, I'm pretty sure she's gravid. She's gotten really big. She's ornery (not normal for her) and hasn't eaten since dec 18th. And now she's getting restless. I'm thinking that there's going to be some babies soon. She didn't have a POS though, so I don't know when to expect her to drop a litter. Here's a few pictures of the fat girl.

I took this one this morning....

I caught her taking her morning constitutional yesterday.

And picture of her back in the fall with the male. She's the one in shed.

Yeah. All signs seem to point that way. Poor girl looks really uncomfortable.

Amie,
I have a few ?'s...
What year is she?
and
How large? (she looks like the LARGEST nic I've ever seen in my life in that 2nd photo....it's very hard to judge her size from the photo).

Hi Jason,

She's about average size for a nic. I'm guessing her to be a 2004 possibly a 2003. She was 3 feet long and pretty thin when I got her in march of 06. The last good measurement that I got of her was 52 inches. She doesn't appear to have grown much in length since that last measurement. And before breeding she was just shy of 5 lbs. The male that I put in with her is approx 54 inches.

For reference, in the super fat looking pic, she's pictured in a 421d (4'L x 2'W x 1'H) boaphile.

Amie
