Update
We had a successful surgery yesterday morning, the ovarian remnant was located and removed. The vet kindly put it aside to show me :biggrin:.
Hopefully this situation is resolved!
Beautiful snake!! Love those eyes and that gorgeous coloration.
We recently got a Suriname (Boa constrictor constrictor). She is beautiful, 3-4' length. I'll try to get a few pictures, but she is never still.
Here is an update. The vet called this morning and confirmed the presence of progesterone in the blood test. Since the heat has abated and no male dogs are hanging around, we are going to wait until about mid-March to do surgery, which is the date of her next heat. She said that she would go...
Shell- There are no updates as of today. The lab is quite a distance from my town and I expect to hear something Monday or Tuesday.
pitbulllady- I have thought of what you have said, that a 'normal' cycle would indeed be helpful for the health of my dog, without the added stress of puppies...
I've been wanting to attempt another breeding project, so I picked up a penultimate Psalmopoeus irminia male (molted a couple of weeks ago) at a local reptile show. I am wondering, at what size are the females sexually mature? The last molt I was able to examine appeared to have well formed...

Here is a helpful video. Good luck, it is much easier than it sounds at first.

Formerphobe- Thank you for the wonderfully detailed reply! I was thinking much along the same lines. As far as blood work goes, does this have to be performed while she is in one of these 'silent heat' periods, when hormone levels are elevated? Or can the hormones be detected at any point in the...
First off, I have a problem that my vet described as "very unusual." There has been an intact male dog hanging around the house for a week or so that I have not been able to drive off. I didn't think much of it. I tied my spayed female outside so she could have a chance to relieve herself, and...
I was rather excited when I heard there was a generic version of Frontline out. I used to not use it, but I moved to a smaller house and now store my invertebrates in the cabinets. I figure there is less of a chance for contamination; seeing as how they are off the floor/shelves and safe from...
I am glad that you picked irminia. That is what I was going to suggest. I love my little female; and I also have one pulcher sling and two cambridgei slings. Sadly, I lost one cambridgei. I love the whole genus!
I have twenty-two tarantulas, and keep three different species of roach. One is never enough, but I think I am done for now. I have all the species I covet the most (within my realistic price range).
That is what I figured. I've never known of an aerial spray being done here in KY. Due to space constraints I keep the collection in my bedroom closet; I'll just be sure to keep the windows shut for a few weeks. :( Thanks!!
Due to the unending rain and flooding that portions of western Kentucky has experienced, the Governor of the state has decided to spray over 700,000 acres of western Kentucky (where I live), and this includes sending out ground crews to treat roadside ditches.
Obviously I know not to feed...
Ohio is also a fan of BSL isn't it? It is a good thing that the ban on exotics got lifted, lawmakers and politicians need to focus on responsible pet-ownership, and not be so concerned with being 'polite'. Seems like authorities don't like to accuse people of being negligent, so they blame the...
She looks female to me. Those white patches are nothing to worry about. I'm pretty sure that they are urticating bristles. She sounds like she is in premolt. They can quit eating quite some time before the patch turns dark. The dark abdomen is the last indicator of an upcoming molt; loss of...
