    I'd don't think there is anything wrong with her. I've seen my gravid females do that before.

    You didn't research any of this before you decided to breed?

    i did but cant find a pics with them like this. all the ones i seen are wraped aroun water bowls thats why it sparked my concern.she looked funky so i went back to my begining studies and cant find anything with them like this.so i figured i ask to see if someone seen this befor.also it seems to quick for her to be in pre lay shed but ill check my records to see when they locked up.

    From what I've gathered before this thread is that it is better to count days by their ovulation, not pre lay shed. I've also seen multiple pictures on this forum with girls laying on their backs like that, males actually do it sometimes too. Good luck.

    From what I've read before she's laying inverted. Gravid females do this because, it's believed, they are very uncomfortable from the eggs. Which makes sense. But I've seen my males do it for no reason. This is an awesome guideline to breeding. Good luck.

    Yep, completely normal. She's either building follicles or is gravid.
