Anybody seen this before?

I have a gravid female that looks weird, in my opinion. She's rather lumpy, and the swelling stands taller, rather than wider. Normally my gravid girls resemble a flat tire, this girl looks more like an ovulation, which happened December 26, and POS followed weeks later.

She is nearly half-way through her gestation period, and to me this looks weird.... Anybody have any opinions or similar experiences?

Thanks in advance
Tony

She looks full of babies to me tony. Maybe those lumps are just a few slugs being pushed to the outer body by a bunch of babies. Good luck.

Looks completely normal to me....perhaps she's coiled a bit tight because she's conserving heat; perhaps it's cooler than usual?

I am no expert. But it looks good to me.
