    Anyone have a gravid female eat???

    Well I'm 90% sure she's gravid, but she's never gone on a hunger strike. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen???

    Yup, there are these rules that people make up for ball pythons, but for some reason the ball pythons never read them. I've got more than one that ate while gravid. So, it can happen.

    I see it once in awhile especially with females that are naturally aggressive eaters

    I have had a few females eat while being gravid. I just give them smaller meals when they are getting close to laying.

    I didn't realize one of my girls had ovulated yet and she was eating and breeding until about a week before she laid.
