one of the cool things to do is (gently!) palpate the follicles (and then eggs) inside the females. they start as a string of very small seeds, then become peas, then pearls, then eggs.

fascinating to know what goes on in the inside part.

keep in mind she is splayed out in this pic, when she is just hanging out or walking around, without doing the "spread" she doesn't look nearly as full : )
