can a ball python be pregnate after a few matings?
i have a normal female that my friend house with my male pastel while i was gone. she is showing signs of pregnacy by seeking cooler side, wraping water bowl, not eating. she's loosing weight kind of but no drasticly. this female is 900+ grams. the thermostat was malfuntioning in sept.- feb.1. and it was like 65 or lower at night and 80 in the day at the warmest. so it made her grow fasscals. and i think she may be gravid? what do you guys/girls think? they were together for 3-4 weeks straight.

As stated by muffin "it only takes one time", did you or your friend see any locks?
The thing with reptiles though, they can store sperm, I had a female last season, who mated in may only, but gave me eggs in Oct. so.........

I would think that if your temps were off by so much, that could be the cause for her not eating and behaving differently. I don't think that keeping her in less than ideal conditions is going to prompt her to start building follicles though if she was housed with a male, that could do it.
I sincerely hope for her sake that she isn't building or gravid because that's just asking a lot of a 900g ball.
