gravid female

Posted by Toni Vitali on April 19, 2000 at 07:18:41:

My big baby dinosaur is gravid, I believe, and being that she is
nearly 4' long, I have no idea what to use as a nesting box...
Also, in the last couple of months her skin has become very dry and no matter how much I bath her, her spikes look just awful, as well as her face looking a bit rougher than normal. I've tried vitamin e but it didn't seem to help. It's bad enough that she has various scrapes and such from my boys(iguanas). Is it normal for them to have a hard time shedding when they are gravid? This is the first time she's ever been gravid in the 3 years that I've had her, unless she reabsorbed the eggs and I didn't even know it - could that be possible?
