When i saw her in the shop last week i suspected mites due to the uplifted scales, The shop keep was convinced it was just layers of stuck shed constricting the scales, needless to say he wanted to keep hold of her for 1 week,
Now she's here and we've hada proper look at her she dosnt appear to have mites, we are bathing to help whit the shed.
She was kept with 2 males in the store, but it was clear to see that the 3 had been together before they endup at the shop (which brings me to the next bit)
Her size and weight seem odd, she looks quite big but yet seem strangly light to pick up, My partner asked the shop of the possibility of her being gravid and he replyed 'probable'
She is only young (i would guess at around a year) can she get pregnant at this age? if so what complcation can occur because of her age?
I pulled this through, as i thought it was relevent to this post,

Scale damage could be from biting / mating. Just a possibility.
