what do you guys think?

Hey everybody,Tinkerbell first locked December 1st and shed last night. She's a very shy snake so she's always in her hides and I havent seen any gravid behavior, but today when I cleaned out her tub I put her back with no hides and now shes wrapped around her water bowl. So here's a picture of her today, let me know what you think.

Nobody?

From that picture I don't see anything unusual going on. Is she still eating? Will she still lock with the male? If you answered yes to either of these then she isn't gravid yet. If the answer to both of these questions is no, then just keep offering her food and keep an eye on her.

A gravid snake is hard to miss. The body is very "peaked". The spine sticks up while the lower sides stick out. If she's bowl wrapping, she is probably still building and should be eating and locking still.

That's what I was thinking, but she didn't lock the last two times and didnt eat the last two times either. I guess only time will tell

I was curious of her current weight and length?

She looks just shy of 3ft and definately over 1000grams but not quite over 1500.

Not saying anythings wrong with it but just curious.
She looks young.
Have you noticed a glow yet? Or a increase in feeding response?
Also how does she react to a male introduced?

I have 2 females breeding right now and one reacts to only one of my males instantly scenting her tub while she kinda ignores the other male when I introduce them. Still locks with both but gives a breeding response faster to the larger male.
If she reacts and is still scenting trying to signal the male to head over than she isn't gravid yet but wants to be. That's what I've noticed in my ladies though.
