    Re: X-rays... should I be expecting or not?

    Just a guess, but those look like follicles - unless it's early in egg formation. When they are closer to laying the "round shape" is more defined, and the white on the radiograph is a little better defined. Not as much as a bird egg since they are not as calcified, but slightly more than that. And she's go some stool building up to0, I'm sure she'll gift you with it after you clean her cage next.

    Here's a pic of a gravid female close to laying (Credits Ken McAlexander from Ballpythoninvestments.com - pulled from a google image search)

    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

    Re: X-rays... should I be expecting or not?

    Thank you for your input! Yea I definitely wouldn’t be expecting her to pay soon yet since she started her locks early November but I didn’t know if they were maybe the start of (fertilized) eggs or not! I’m still a newbie to this obviously 👅 but at least it seems as tho she’s building so that’s been good! The link didn’t work but it’s okieee might just be my phone!
