Question about feeding...

Hi everybody quick question....i think my girl has been going through all the steps to laying eggs. she was eating like a pig and locked up around 5 times in the last 3 or 4 months.... now nothing wont eat for me is that a good sign...

What you need to look for is the built, the glow, ovulation, pre-lay shed, because a snake goes off feed does not mean it is gravid. ;)

Hey can you elaborate on those topics. I've seen the glow but don't understand wha the rest are or how to tell. What do you do or look for?

Rather than elaborate I will refer you to this http://ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html it's a great guide when you just get started because it allow you to follow the process in a detailed way with pictures, now remember you may or may not notice all the described steps but most you will be able to identify without any issues at least the most important one which is the ovulation.
