    Behavior of pregnant ball python
    I got this mojave female about 4 months ago. She roughly 7 to 800 grams. She's been a great eater, then stopped. She seems interested but turns it down each time. She is still shedding. The temps and humidity levels are perfect. And yet I find her coiled around her water bowl. Frequently. She had her tail sucked in last night and today. And a pretty bumpy body around the bowl. So my question is can a not pregnant BP have the same behavior as a pregnant one? First time Im dealing with something like this. It could be nothing. She want paired with anything. Ever!!
    Thanks for reply

    It's possible but probably not likely. Has she been with a male would be the most obvious thing to consider. What are your temps like? She could just be trying to cool down a bit. Normal sausage butt can look a little like tail suck and I think all of mine, males and females, lay around looking lumpy from time to time.

    Did you pair her with a male at 800 grams???

    If the answer is no, than no she is not GRAVID.

    Parthenogenesis is pretty rare and in such a small animal unlikely.

    She's a virgin. No intentions of breeding her. Temps are 90 and 83. 50 humidity.
