Do you think she is gravid?

kasper22 May 30, 2003 08:18 PM

I'm have a hard time telling. She eats, she doesn't stay in the heat conservation position at all and she doesn't keep her body temp up. But after she shed back in march the male has shown no intrest in her. When I put the male in with another female he goes right to work. What do you guys think?

Of her whole body so we can see what were looking at? It's hard...just looking at a segment of her gives us no reference point.

Sorry that last photo was from the cloaca to just before the head. here is a better pic from today

Thanks for the new pic...now I can see where the "bulge" is and how stretched the skin is. I'm not an expert but I'd say she looks very gravid!

...2nd photo is better. Yeah she has that balloonee look. I vote yes she's gravid, and quite so. SJM
