I will keep you posted if she lays.

Yah, unfortunately I am kind of thinking the same thing, the shape is wrong I think. She's not fat all the way up, just around the waist.
But I guess time will tell for sure so we will see.......

Also I have experienced countless times that a sal/newt is "eggnant" (I made that word up) but the eggs end up getting resorbed because the rest of the process doesn't happen successfully.

Hmm, that's interesting. I didn't know that that could happen, I guess you learn something new everyday! :rolleyes:

Haha, nice word, "eggnant", I will have to use that one ;)
