General Care Discussion :: El Preggo maybe? Help with signs

[ntherese90]

My newbie big question? Not sure if my Fiona is El Preggo? Pregnant? I feed both my turtles the same. But in a few months she outgrew "? her sister 2 fold!" I call her a Big Mac or Manwich .. she eats like nobody's biz ? Has always been an escapee... since they were tykes! She gave me the edu 101 turtles are not slow if they have tbe urge! So besides "feeling her up" are there any other physical signs? Her ... sister I hope, has a flat belly & no manly parts... even did a tail rub & exams once in a while - I feed them in a plastic tub & do a quick health check. My babies So, any other signs besides the touch method? Appearance? Anything? I also call her Megladon & Godzilla ohh boy....

If you feed them together, it's not unusual for one to outcompete the other. You'll have to be very careful that it doesn't continue and you might need to reduce it a bit for Fiona.
