what do you think?
my new concinnus has suddenly gained weight in no relation to her food intake (picky eater)
as you may know I'm a reformed snake over feeder, and I've seen a few over weight snakes
this looks a bit different though







should I be concerned?

Rhea, I'd say there is a good possibility she is gravid. In an advanced stage you will feel lumps in her belly if she is.

Re: what do you think?
A cautious "congratulations!", then, if she's gravid. My female didn't get gravid, which is sort of what I was hoping for.
