Photo of a gravid female lying on her back taken today.

rcreptiles Jan 29, 2006 06:00 AM

Here's another female that's gravid and was noticed lying on her back this morning. I'd like to mention that she ate two small rats two days prior but I don't believe that has any correlation to her lying on her back. I wanted to share this due to some myths that gravid females will not feed.

Enjoy the photo.

she's not gravid according to people's definition on here....only after she ovulates is she gravid........right now she is still "creating follicles".........(I call them gravid all the time too)....

and yea....alot of mine are huge and still eating.and ovulations have to be close for most......

she may not even be gravid....if she ate 2 rats the day before...she could just be digesting...I have males that do it all the time too....
hopefully she is gravid though and good luck with her!
