Sorry for the wording I meant tail suck not kink. This female in question has been breeding sense mid October after her shed 2 months ago she was glowing and then about 2-3 weeks ago I saw the mid body swell that lasted about 1-2 days till the swell went back down. Now she is back in shed do you think this is the pre-lay shed? During the mid body swell I did not pay attention to the tail suck I thought that came a later time.
