    Fat tail?

    First off, Sorry for all the newbie questions. It's just really nice to have a recourse like this..

    anyway, here's the snake:





    Okay, I'm hoping it's just a lot of poo. xD I've NEVER noticed her tail that thick, so the thought of eggs popped into my head--I just had to make sure.

    I felt down her belly and noticed a few slight lumps, but she was wriggling a lot, so I would disregard that...

    I would hope it's not eggs, she seems too small to be gravid. Probably just needs to bust a duce. Actually, her caboose itsn't as fat as most of my boys right before they do thier thing.

    Okay. Good. xD I was really hoping it wasn't. She's tiny. Anything I should watch out for?

    That's the best way to get them to go...just clean the tub and change the bedding...works every time!
