Fat or gravid?

[OuZo]

hey guys,

one of my central netteds is looking quite plump these days, and as i've never had lizzies before i'm not sure if she's just fat or could be gravid! i wasnt really expecting any to be gravid cos i havent seen any mating and they laid about a month ago, but i really didnt think she ate enuf to be this podgy lol. i'll attach a pic, any views would be appreciated!

thanx guys

ps i cant feel any lumps really...thought i did the first night i noticed but couldnt feel anything the next night!

Zo you should be able to feel eggs, don't worry about squashing her or anything.....it's very obivous.

 

[OuZo]

yeah i've poked her tummy and felt around...pushed quite deep but couldnt feel eggs

maybe she's chubby lol

thanx for noticing steve lol

You will feel eggs if shes gravid...the closer it gets to laying the more obvious it becomes.

Hey barney - It doesn't look gravid, if it starts to lay belly up then you know it is.

Hey Barney,only reason i asked is that she looks a little jungle like is all,and doesn't look to be gravid but you never know.Did you notice any swellling"ovulating "previously?

 

[Barney]

Yes noticed Swelling over a period of time
hasnt got any bigger

Ovulating ?

here a cloer shot curled up !

She looks a little pissed in the second shot as i disturbed
her taking pics i.e. opened door

 

[BROWNS]

Yep judging on that pic she could well be gravid,se if you can feel any eggs by letting hers slide gently through your hand while preesing in gently with index and forefinger and you should be able to feel eggs...if she is she could lay anytime now...do you have an incubator ready in case?

 

[Barney]

its ready & running as already have beardy eggs in
