If she doesn't have babies soon...

Postby aaronhouts » Sun Jul 09, 2017 12:56 pm

...she's definitely going on a diet.
Even now, she doesn't eat very much or very often, but I thought she would have had babies already.
I don't know. This girl has us stumped.

How long has it been? Might be time for an X-ray (she says, hoping for X-ray pics!! :wink: )

Hi, Ali!

It was hard to put together information on Hamlaheras as we're really guessing here, but the formula I came up with would have had her giving birth yesterday.
The formula has its flaws though as I was going off of what I believed to be her "post ovulation shed" which is what we do with boas.
To confuse the issue, she has had a few sheds after that which could have been the POS. Plus, that could not be significant at all...
Since she's not too overdue, we're going to give her a little longer.
We found a couple of places that could do an ultrasound. Do you think an X-ray would be better?

I think you are much better off with an ultrasound. If you have babies, they will clearly show up in an ultrasound.

Honestly I have no idea whether an X-ray or ultrasound would be better, I just remember Susann posting an X-ray pic some time ago. It's awesome!

Thanks, Ali!
Wow!
I finally got a chance to check out that thread. Susann said her girl gave birth after 7 1/2 months-230 days.
That seems crazy long, but it may be what we're looking at.
Truthfully, we were kind of giving up, but that post gives me a little more hope as she's just over 200 days.
We really don't know at this point. She looks so full.
Regardless, she seems happy and comfortable, is eating and isn't showing signs of anything bad. Whether she has babies or not, it only matters that she's healthy.
We'll give her a little more time and keep watching her...
