BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Not sure if this is the place to post this, please feel free to move it if I goofed

I had Calypso out today to weigh her, and when I picked her up her middle/lower tummy felt like a water balloon? She definitely never felt that way previously(3-4 months ago) and my other 2 skinks don't feel like that either. I noticed this when I had her out a couple weeks ago as well, but it was more noticeable today. Is this common when they are gravid?

She is still gaining weight, today 1182g, last weight on 3/1/13 was 1150g.

can be a good sign,only one of my female northerns shows that,the other lass hides it well,she has only had litters of 7 though ,did yiu weigh your female when she was getting mated

Yes her weight at time of mating was 1090g, so she has gained just about 100g. So you are saying 1 of your females has had that feel to her when you pick her up?

WOW she must be huge! My largest, my merauke only weighs in about 750 grams! O.O

She is a very big girl! 23 1/2" in length. I bought her as an adult and she has always been big.
