    Re: See through radix

    You're "pretty sure" huh? I'd like to see what it takes for you to be certain. Man, I can see the dark spots through the entire third of her body, through those highly separated scales. She's either gravid or half dead from an impaction. My past concinnus female got pretty big when she was gravid, but good lawd, I don't think she got quite that swollen even when she pushed out 50.

    When she's done, you're going to have to re inflate her or she'll be dragging the loose folds of her hide around!

    Fingers crossed for her she does look chunky.

    I certainly hope it's not an impaction as I would hate to lose her.
    I think I will look at the glass/snake as half full of little scrubs.

    I doubt it's an impaction. I was only kidding of course. Dark spots are definitely in the wrong place for that. The worst thing it could be is dead rotten babies causing her to swell with gas and causing the death of the rest of them. But, that kind of makes an impaction seem tame in comparison.

    What is with all the questions anyway? You act like you've never done this before.

    Looks like a normal extreme gravidity to me.

    That's one of my red phase female(Boomerang). Hoping she's gravid also. She spent time with the same male as the albino.

    I have 3 females in that enclosure. The third is a dark phase named Honda.
