Look I know that this green tree mateing question might be old to some of you old timers but I am new to this and last season I lost female and I dont want to lose this one so would somebody please answer my question?Should I take her to the vet and get her x-rayed or just wait and see if she has eggs?(you know let nature take its course)Please help me

OK, I went back and looked at your previous message. You say that they mated (or began mating) on June 7. It's still a little early to be getting concerned. If she is gravid, withing another 3 weeks or so, you'll be able to tell. She will start to get noticeably fatter from a point just posterior of mid-body to her vent. As the eggs grow and develop, you will be able to hold her sort of stretched out with her head higher than her tail and see the individual "bumps" of the eggs. I normally only have snakes x-rayed if I think they are eggbound.

Thank you so much for your input I kept trying but to no avail I guess persistence pays off
