Is this supposed to happen?..

Triangular is more when they are underweight I think.

When they are stuffed full of eggs they are more circular with the spine pushed up like a rope along the top of the back third.

I wouldn't call this triangular at all really.

Actually no. When they are getting close to laying, the rear half of the female starts to look triangular. Still plump but the spine lifts as the eggs get bigger and start developing shells. I think the girls just try and give the eggs a tiny bit more room.
