Urgent! Impaction?

[NickGeee]

My female knob tail is getting really fat and has a strange looking abdomen? Is she just fat or should I seek veterinary assistance
Thanks

Some pictures would be useful, we can't be a huge help without them.

I will ask though, has the swollen abdomen come on suddenly, or was it a gradual thing? What was the timeframe?

I second the request for a picture.

Is there any chance she could be gravid? Has she had any contact with a male?

I second renenet. Is there no possibility she is gravid? Pics are necessary. Was she purchased only recently? She may have been sold to you gravid if this is the case.
I am not sure whether knob tails have the ability to retain sperm (if someone could let me know) as if possible this, may be a possibility???

If you post pics and no one can identify FOR SURE what the issue at hand is, I recommend you see a vet. May only be that she's gravid but you'd rather be safe and pay a bit than sorry.

Best of luck!

Pics help.... Also, is she eating and pooing properly and if so, what is she being fed? and what substrate is being used in the enclosure? If you are majorly concerned, vet trip is recommended...

Yes. I put the male in for afew days about a week ago.
I know doubt impaction because she did a big poop last night.
Eating medium crickets and substrate is the red desert sand from petshop.
