Here is Mew today: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8724
When she was fed on monday (the last time i had her out) she was lovely and slim, like she usually is. Today her back end looks rather chunky, so here i am in panic mode again
She is moving more slowly than usual and arches herself when i run my finger down her tummy. Has she suddenly become a big fat mong in a few days or is it something terrifyingly evil like a tumor or an infection or something?? Or maybe she is ovulating, even though she's an '09? (can you usually see when corns do that?)
Aaah!

Could be, but when she's about to blow its only the last inch or so of body that look big. I guess it could be a serious monster poo! |

Mine always looks very chunky before a poo, right at the bum end - I'd wait until she's blown and then see if it's disappeared! Then start to question what it could be, but in my experience it's usually a big 'un brewing!

My first thought was poop. I always give the tail a good look at before handling as I am sure they save it up for me |

One super-poop later and she still looks the same The chunkiness starts about halfway down her, and feels a bit squishy (her top half looks and feels normal though!) |

could be eggs - some females have been known to lay eggs without having been near a male - think Matty's Henry did a few times.. |

Yum yum
Are eggs still likely if she's only an '09? I've given her a nice laying box, just in case! |

When did you first notice it... Question to the more experienced members. Could it be a fatty deposit??? |
