sorry i cannot upload pics right now due to my computer usb port breaking. and no i dont know how to palpate im am new to this hobby. also if she hasnt eaten in 8+ months wouldnt she be super skinny? about halfway down her body it gets pretty round until her tail. she has been coiling around the heat and barely moves from there unless handled for the past month. i am worried since she hasnt eaten in so long when she does lay she wont make it.
