    Exclamation Need help - gravid?

    I need some help...

    Yesterday I saw my BP soaking, it was the first time. Now today she is soaking right now.
    My temps are:
    Warm side 91F
    Cool side 81F
    Humidity a constant 60%

    I thought it was possibly mites but...I see some some 'lumps' on her/him (Unsexed) and I don't see any small black dots.
    I can kind of see 6 distinct lumps while in the water bowl. The tail is also curled a bit.

    I don't have my camera, my GF has it and she's gone for a week.

    Does anyone have any pictures of a gravid female?
    I saw a few while searching and it kind of looks like that.

    I'm not breeding!
    I got Mystery about 1 month ago. He/she is young, ~2 feet.

    I don't know what to do.

    That's the picture I found while searching, my BP kind of looks like that.
    But my snake is much smaller.

    I have no idea what I should do!

    How old, how long, how heavy...

    All important to know.

    Re: Need help - gravid?

    9 months, 2 feet, no idea.

    Isn't that too young to be gravid? I'm confused.

    Re: Need help - gravid?

    Have you fed it recently?

    Could just be a bowel movement.

    Re: Need help - gravid?

    I fed 3 days ago (05th). 1 small mouse as usual.
    Last time Mystery pooped was the 26th.

    Wouldn't it only be 1 lump though?

    No necessarily.

    Sounds like it is very unlikely that it is gravid.

    Doubt it's gravid - might be gas bubbles - there aren't any cage mates missing are there? Post a picture when you can.
