Bulge?

Hey guys, quick question. My little Honduran has a bulge in her stomach roughly 1/3 down her body. Her last feed was a decent size fuzzy, a little bit bigger than she is, not dramatically but enough to leave a bump in her. I can get pictures later. Usually she ends up not having a bump a day or 2 after. Well it's day 3. Still a large bump in her, she's pooped plenty..believe me. Do you think possibly raising temps a little and waiting for it to clear it's self out the best option? Or should I just continue business as normal?

Re: Bulge?

as long as she has access to a good range of temps, there is no harm in bumping her basking spot up a little bit

if she has been doing well in with her current settings, there's no real need to adjust the temperatures tbh, a meal can take longer than 3 days to digest either way
