What does a gravid female look like?

4everherpn May 03, 2004 08:03 PM

I've heard that you can see the eggs through the skin of a leo? Ist that true? Does anyone have a photo of a gravid female to show me?

This would be great to know since my females occasionally bring out eggs and I'm unprepared for them. I do have one in the cooker right now. We'll see. I saw veins 2 days ago and a mass.

that was quick! I just candled my agg again. I do not see the veins again. A few days could have been over a week ago. The mass is taking up the egg now. This is great! I'm hoping to have my 2nd baby soon. First ever from this pair.
