Being in denial about the sex is a little iffy. You think your questions are valid now....just wait until you have a clutch of babies strewn about in your cage. Should be looking for fruit flies and nursery habitat.

I'm not denying it any more. I have fruit flies on stand by and also her old cage for the babies. Thanks for you concern and opinion ?

Before I take on a new exotic I check the local (local as in a distance I'm willing to drive to reach) vets to see if any of them can treat it. Its not a matter of IF you'll need a vet its WHEN. FWIW, I agree with others; that's a gravid female who happens to possess 3 horns.

Side note...anyone think through selective breeding 3 horns on both could be stabilized?

my comments can come off as argumentative sometimes. I could do of worded them better.
The species jacksonii jacksonii females have 1-3 horns. We have not been able to establish the link between horn number and parentage. One horned females can have 3 horned female babies and vise versa. I am calling this female a jack. jack. because of the way the spines on her back look. The link to the Manchen article shows the 3 species for comparison.
I haven't been back to this thread recently because I'm busy setting up baby cages for babies that came from a horned female. As someone mentioned getting fruit fly cultures and a baby bin handy now is important. They can move to pin head crickets and bean beetles as they grow. Hopefully she is only going to pass unfertilized ova or slugs and they pass without causing her problems. Glad you found a vet sorry they are so far away.

May have to get the lady to a doctor. I understand being in an area where there's nothing. Very small town here. No vets here for exotics. We have one that does well with birds and things and he will do his best for whatever you bring him but he's not a true exotic vet. Bout 45 min away is the nearest one for us. Not a bad drive and they are very nice and helpful.
