    Question she shed but....

    hey everyone, well anne b. shed yesterday but to me she does not look gravid any more. she looks like she lost a little weight, unless i'm just used to looking at her. so is this normal or i might as well just give up. here's a pic, not the best but so you can get an idea of what i'm trying to describe. thanks for the advice.

    Don't give up hope. She could be holding eggs. I know you've seen posts that say: I didn't even know she was gravid.

    She looks big enough to be hiding some eggs in her.

    Re: she shed but....

    It's hard to tell by the pictures, but does it look like her spine is sticking out little (ridge-back)? As the eggs grow, they push up on the spine causing it to stick out a little. Her laying in a perfect coil is a good sign. Watch to see if she continues to do this (and if she begins to put her tail inside of the coil).

    I completely agree with the above, i missed one of my girls ovy and the only reason i knew she was gonna lay was she wouldnt move from her hot spot and was in a perfect coil and as she got closer to laying her tail was smack dab in the middle. op Good luck!!!!

    Re: she shed but....

    thank you all for the advice, good luck and for calming me down...LOL. she does have a slight ridge back look, maybe thats what making me think she is losing weight. the suspense is killing me...
