Here's another shot of her today; she blinked for this photo, but you can see just how much weight she's put on!

Great Job Elan, shes showing alot of improvement, took a long time for them to get that way (emachiated/ ill health) and takes a while to bring them back.

Johneee and I were just talking about that yesterday, some of these very sickly or extremely thin lizards have that will to live, and show improvement even if slow. Others just seem to give up. Of course we never really know whats going on inside of them either

So nice that shes responding Pretty girl

WOW,
You are doing an amazing job, I didn't realize that they could gain that fast! It wont be long and she'll be fat. Has her belly(eggs) gone done in size any?

Great job,
Morgan

No, her belly is about the same size, but the good news is that the vet x-ray her last weekend and it appears that she hasn't shelled them out yet. Maybe she will resorb them after all.

Fingers crossed.

So your sure she can't lay them? Thats too bad it would be neat to see some MORE baby pics. From the X-ray could you tell how many?

Fingers crossed,
Morgan

We didn't try to count the eggs.

I don't know for certain that she won't lay them, but her health would make it very difficult for her. Her front limbs are in pain (I can tell by the way she acts), so I can't imagine that she'd try to dig any holes.

I agree, babies would be nice, but I doubt that the eggs would even be viable at this point.
