question about a gravid with an obstruction

I have A P.Imp, currently gravid with an obstruction i think that's what its called anyway, Its pretty big and shes getting really big fast.
Do you think that this will affect the pregnancy?

I don't think so....but then again this is the first case I hear about. It's a great learning experiance.

Um . . . pics?

What do you mean by obstruction? Is there a cork stuck up her operculum?

lol @ mike.

No No
its not like that there is nothing blocking that it looks like a big Black sagment of her abdomen
she isnt getting biggerr there shes just getting bigger everywhere else. sorry no pics just been kinda buisy but ill get one up later

got some pics.
this one shows the black segmants the best

this one shows how its only getting big at the last two or three segments

hmmmm..... looks almost like necrosis. mabye mycosis... doesn't look like it though.






doesn't look very pretty.

Meh i have had some B.jacksoni looking worse then that and still threw a brood my way and lived to tell the story.. dont worry mate..

Are you sure she's gravid?

yah im pretty sure she is.
she was sleek when i bought her and now her cord on the last bit of her is VERY prominent.

but is her whole mesosoma prominant? or just the back bit?

just the back bit is prominent is as if the black spot is stopping the rest from expanding

My guess is that something internal is wrong, and that she's not gravid.

I don't know if it's an infection, an impaction, or what.

im pritty stimped at what it is i brought the communitty out into the living room last night so i can keep a closer eye on it.

you can start to see the cord all over but its as if her one side isnt moving an inch



ill keep you all posted about this.

shes getting super fat.

no ive been busy lately and havent had much time i rehomed her out of the community and into her own basic tank. hopefully she will be comfortable to give birth.
