    I think my snake has gone weirdo on me.

    So went to check my girl this morning. She was laying with her front hald right side up and back half (as much as she could get) belly up. Is she trying to tell me she wants a "boyfriend" ? I've never seen her do this. Temps and humid are spot on so I know shes not too cold or hot. She also has 2 appropriate sized hides and fresh water. I can tell you she will not be getting a boyfriend.

    She's a normal. Since I got her back a month ago she hasn't been around any other snakes. I know she was around 2 males before.

    Size, age, and weight? Can she turn herself over when laid directly on her back?

    Re: I think my snake has gone weirdo on me.

    She's still a little skinny, but yes she turns herself over. She was 3 yrs in August, about 4 ft. And a sweety. I know she just pooped recently cause I had to clean it. She eats fine, just shed a couple weeks ago, and when I flipped her bottom half back over she gave me a "what the hades I just got comfy" look. Then went into her hot hide. Like I said. I've never seen her do this lol. She drinks just fine also. Her hot side is 90 cool side 80 at the time, and humidity 55%. The temp has only gone up and down a couple degrees as the house cools. It hasn't changed much. I watch it like a hawk. I don't know weight because I haven't gotten a scale. She looks good despite being a little skinny which I'm working on.

    Probably just her being her, then again I guess pregnancy is not impossible, I highly doubt it though.

    She's never been in an enclosure with a male as far as I know. The boys were on the other side of the room from her. She's a solid shape with no bumps along her. Like I said I think she's going weirdo hormone teen on me. I don't own any males. I know my next bp will be a boy but they won't have any physical contact unless my son or hubby put them together cause I won't. I can't do babies sorry. I would freak and accidentally kill the poor things.

    Re: I think my snake has gone weirdo on me.

    She isn't acting out of character for her but still. Just wanted an opinion on why she might be doing it. It was almost lile she was trying to sun herself like we do. When I flipped her back half on her belly she just looked disgruntled at me. I didn't know if it was in response to her being old enough to breed or being silly. I'm careful about her housing and know nothing can fall on her.

    If she has never been with a male, then the only pregnancy issue you would see is if she ends up throwing some asexual duds, some females will do this but it has gotten a bit rare from what I have seen. I am thinking this is just some new behavior, I doubt it has any real pathology to it.
