Please post som more information. It could be gravid. Or if it was wild caught when you got it can be internal parasites, which is not to good...

Yeah, what ITK said!!! I thought the same thing...SLINGS...but...my WC, although gravid, ate like a pig right up until a week before she laid them....I'll cross my fingers and hope yours is gravid.

a. iodious
wild caught three years ago
about 3"-3 1/2"
It's in a ten gallon aquarium with potting soil, several hides, a water dish, a fake plant and a big stick.
Don't know if it's male or female. It was found on a person's doorstep when it was just a little guy/gal and I adopted it.
