Hey guys most of you know me...patrick from boston...if not hellooo! ok heres the question i got.

The argentine male i put her with courted til he couldnt no more i put him in with her after thanksgiving...now is it a tell tale sign that if she has expanded scales shes gravid? she has scale expansion so large that ud think shed pop! can any show me picstures of scale expansion on a gravid female? besides the no eating, and the sitting on the hot side and inverting on her side, would scale expansion be a sign as well! thanks!
