These are tough critters and to her, it's just a slight different way of doing everything daily. In the wild she may be prey at this point but not in an enclosure. Sadly, I would keep her from any breeding programs though.
The only thing I cannot figure out is if she is in pain. She has random muscle spasms that dont look comfortable at all. She tightens up, her jaw opens up and she kinda just vibrates for a second before she goes back to "normal". I have no clue if she feels discomfort so I am just playing it by ear so to speak. And I dont plan on trying to breed her ever again. The stress would be too much I am afraid
