jere- i totally get that now-- they were popped by the breeder-- a very reputable one i might add- but thats beside the point. i only mentioned that to give data on the swelling of the vent-- that it wasnt probing related.
my breeder friend called his herp vet-- and she saw my gtp tonight even though it was late-- in the end it was a bacterial infection-- i have to soak her in meds and water and he says shell be fine in a week or less. so in the end it looks like nova (thats her name) will be great.
thanks bigballs and i hope everyone has a great night.
