    Re: Delilah the checkered garter.

    Also been noticing that she is getting a little bulgy ahead of her cloaco. It's a little more pronounced than right before a feeding atm but still starting to wonder. My guesses, she might be getting a bit to fat, she possibly has parasites that are becoming pronounced now that she is well fed or she decided to be gravid on me. As far as feeding goes I usually feed her until she has a good sized bulge through bout 1/4 of her body or so, 2 day wait after worms, 3 days after fish and 5 days after pinks. Figured she was growing so I'd stay a little agressive on the feeding but I might be overdoing it lol. As to the possibility of being gravid I'm not feeling anything that seems lump but it's rather hard to tell with how small she is. No other signs of parasites, she's eating very healthy (obviously), shes active in and out of her viv, tongue flicking normally and I suppose napping normally. I need to hurry up and line up a ride so I can get that vet visit rescheduled.

    BTW that darkness at her cloaca appeared right on the last couple of shots before she went into her viv, I think she was just about to poop was all but I didn't wait to find out.

    I don't see anything alarming. Looks to me like she needs to poop but I don't see anything that hints of a blockage or growth. I'd say she's loaded and ready to fire.

    Re: Delilah the checkered garter.

    Still too small for me, I want her at least two feet before I try popping scrubs outa her. So she doesn't actually look gravid? Just plump?

    Edit: Wait I get the pun lol. Yes, she LOVES to poop on me...and my carpet and my keyboard and w/e else she can poop lol.

    Re: Delilah the checkered garter.

    Was grabbing a few quick groceries at lunch today and found one of those 3 in 1 clip on lens kits. I'm actually pretty impressed with the macro lens. It might not have a huge focus range but when I get it positioned right it takes some pretty darn good shots for a smart phone.





    Wasn't 100% before but I've now been able to confirm this is in fact a scar and not a blotch in her pattern. Pretty small and looks pretty well healed. No sign of shed problems in that spot.
