    Pied mystery

    wonder if any one has any thoughts..my pied female laid 2 months ago..since laying she is hammering her food & constantly wanting fed, she has allready regained her weight..for the last few days she has taken to bowl wrapping, sitting with her upper part of her body in her dish, is not shedding..no mites..temps regular..tbh no reason for her behaving like this other than I suspect she is building again allthough I wouldnt think that she would be..she is still feeding..any one have any thoughts please

    Hi,

    Had she fed a day or so before?

    I have heard of a ball python going twice in a year, but have no experience with it personally. This is just something I've heard.

    It is very possible that she could think her bowl is a clutch of eggs.
