Or just fat?
Hey guys, so I bought this tiger sal at Tinley back at the beginning of October. "She" has always eaten voraciously for me. To the point where if I'm in the room for a period of time she'll poke her head out of her cave and then crawl towards me begging for food, even though she'd eaten the previous day. As tigers do, apparently. I thought she looked like she was getting fat, but then she loves to eat so I didn't think much of it. Then about 5 days ago on a feeding day, she didn't want to eat at all. And well, I'm a worrier.
She's since eaten again, but after looking for info online I'm worried that she may be bloated instead of fat. All this time I've had her I've never once seen something in her cage that I was 100% certain was poop. Her water dish has looked dirty sometimes, but she does have dirt in her cage. And it hasn't looked dirty for a while. So I'm worried maybe she has an impaction or something. If she does look bloated I'll take her to the vet, it's just I need to be certain something is wrong because unfortunately it's nearly a 2 hour drive to a decent herp vet.
Here are some pics. I'd say she's been this round for at minimum 2 weeks - my memory doesn't really extend much farther than that.
