The vet did an x-ray, and said it was the follicles, the swelling went down a lot though afterwards, I think maybe some got absorbed.

And like I said, the shed seems to time in exactly with a prelay shed, but it could just be a coincidence.

Always thought she was a boy for the last 24 years, and I don't know anything about the breeding cycle so I thought it might have been something like a bladder issue or something.
She was drinking lots of water and laying almost belly up (in a circular coil fashion) quite often in the past 2-3 months.

She is a normal, when I got her in 1995 there wasn't really morphs available very much, not like it is now anyway.

I know to check for veins with light, but viable eggs has to be quite a long shot I think.
Would be good though to hear the patter of tiny feet though.
