I was gonna ask where you stole the xray machine from but nevermind. Lol. Cool picture though.

I don't think it was a very smart idea of taking an X-ray of a pregnant female, there is a good reason why they make sure they do not use X-rays on pregnant humans, just saying cool pic none the less.

It's my understanding that reptiles don't show the sensitivity to radiation that humans do. I've heard of iguanas with cancer but not other reptiles. I'm sure now that I said that someone is going to pop in and prove me completely wrong. If I am wrong, someone please feel free to correct me.

Certainly, all reptiles can develop cancer.

Radiation sensitivity is lower in reptiles than mammals. (The general sensitivity progression is mammals, birds, fish, amphibans and reptiles, insects, etc--some higher plants are in between birds and fish).

Embryonic and juvenile organisms are always more sensitive to radiation than adults...so, no, I probably wouldn't want to X-ray a pregnant female anything. Just in case. It'll probably be fine, but one wrong particle in the wrong place, and you lose a hatchling, or wind up with a deformity.

Vets take x rays of pregnant animals all the time. They like to know how many are in there in case they dont come out.
I am gonna say 6

WRONG! Have you ever seen the new godzilla movie? Radiation is what created godzilla!

To the OP - be careful man. Tomorrow you might wake up and have an 80 foot, 10,000 pound snake curled up around your bed
