Ribs
Ok, I bred my pied female with a clown het pied male for several months. She ate then she refused feed (last ate on 5/9). On 2/17, she weighed 2495g. As of today (7/14), she weighs 2365g and I can see her ribs sticking out. I've never experienced this before. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Being that hefty I cant see how 130g would impact her visual appearance that much. Pictures would help in this case.

If she has ribs sticking out of her, than yes that is a problem!

X2. I can't even FEEL my snake's ribs. SEEING them? That is dangerously emaciated. It would have to be.

Re: Ribs
Is her spine raised up as well?
Does she look pear shaped in cross section, is her back end considerably wider than it used to be?

Yep. I think she is just gravid. Maybe it's the eggs that is pushing her ribs outward?

Is there another way to post pics other than using PhotoBucket?
