    Unhappy humph

    well the other day i found what looked like sperm plugs. i talked to Adam and he said females sometimes secrete "shmoo" from the females musk glands. im hoping thats what that was.

    well i tried popping her to the best i could. i didnt evert hemipenes but i did see some darker red tissue. from what i understand females dont have this darker red tissue, correct?

    i think a picture might help. ill try to get one soon. im gonna get her an appointment at the vet to get sexed also. she's been probed as a male when she was younger but once she was older (in the 900g range) she was probed again as a female.
