Looks like fluid retention. The feet, legs, whole body looks bloated. I'd definitely recommend you take her to a vet for a thorough examination.

What could cause that? Is it the same as for humans? _________________ www.freewebs.com/johelian www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld --------------------------------- 1.0.0 Argentine Tegu T.merianae 3.4.0 Monkey Tailed Skink C.zebrata 1.0.0 Crawl Cay Boa B.c.imperator 0.1.0 Royal Python P.regius Back to top Wolf-hound Valued Member Joined: Sep 29, 2006 Posts: 98 Location: Florida Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 11:04 pm    Post subject: After sending a ton of pictures to one of the resisdant experts it was decided to watch her carefully for a few days, seeing as she was eating, active etc. I'm glad to report her feet and legs are no longer swollen looking! Now she looks wrinkley as she properly should. I'd post pictures, but my camera is apparently worn out, and despite buying two new expensive cards for it, it still won't work. As soon as I get a new camera, I'll post new pictures for contrast. In other news, Noah is almost as big as Gracie now! Thanks for the concern and suggestions! _________________ Raw Bear with Salt tastes like Oysters.
