    Sudden weight gain and hard as a rock..

    So my big girl has suddenly put on 500g in four weeks and has become absolutely hard as a rock... She either has a major poo building up or.. something else? IF she was bred.. she was underweight.

    She is eating, she doesnt seem to be wrapping anything, she is getting kinda grumpy suddenly - compared to her very docile temperament two weeks ago, she has poo'd and had a lovely one last week.. but i got her four weeks ago so no idea what happened before that.

    Watch and see or vet visit?

    Some pics..

    Probably is building up to a healthy big poo

    Hmm... i'm no expert but with all the weight gain and the temperment i'd almost say she's got eggs. Plus her being hard too.

    Someone correct me if i'm wrong though

    Or... maybe it's a 350g poo. You'd need gloves for something like that.

    when my male albino decides to impress me with a "dog log" of his own, he will become more stiff around the vent until he finally surprises me.

    haha, ive noticed my spider does that a lot. he is a holder and exploder...which is not a fun smell to wake up too.. and not fun to be woken up by your snake breaking wind as he excavates his extremities..

    i first noticed she was getting harder before her last poo and it didnt go away after the last mess she left me - which was in the water bowl if i may add.. bad girl!

    Did you ever pair her with a male even for a short time

    One night about two weeks ago I was cleaning her tub out and stuck her in with my other male. that was only about 3-4 mins. But ive only had her for about 4-5 weeks now. Got her from a show, so she could have been paired with something before i got her.. that could be fun.. lol.. no idea what would come out until hatch
