Apparently a gravid female?

[Rani-May]

Someone in my reptile group thinks this may be a gravid female? Opinions?

[Richard.C]

Looks beaten up around head and tail,whitish scarring marks,could be gravid yes,still early in a blotch gestation period if it was mated when outdoors ones mate,so might show it better in a month or 2

Thank you i noticed someone had another post about being able to tell if gravid and that it basically varies from bluey to bluey. Ive never allowed mine to mate so I wouldnt know

[Richard.C]

Some hide it very well,looking at them u cant tell,others are the oppasite and u have to be blind freddy not to see all the signs,it is easier to tell the closer they are to dropping,but yeah,theres always some that keep you guessing,thats not factoring in the ones that have slugs,which if u arent about when they are dropping them sometimes you dont know except females weight has dropped,as slugs generally are eaten straight away by the female,or cage mates if they live with others

Slugs are unfertilised ova,so babies dont develop if anyones wondering

Probably a bit early to tell with that lass rani,but if they have witnessed matings or she has noticable shoulder scarring,she very well could be gravid,she has enough weight on for a lowlands anyhow,especially compared to her skinny tail relative to body comparison

She reminds me of a large old lowlands female i had,never got a fat tail but body would balloon,very odd,almost like they have a males tail

Do you have pictures of her? Im learning a lot from you Richard.all the years ive had blueys and ive learnt more from here than anywhere else so far. Thanks for all the help and info, and hope im not going to get annoying putting random skinks up asking male or female and about being gravid. is how id like to learn. roughly guess then see what you guys think and why. its fun too
