    Also why do you think her belly is pink? ive never seen a ball python with a pink belly... you can sort of see it in the pictures but they do no justice to seeing it in person........ well check them out tell me what you think...

    A piink belly normally means she is going to go in to shed soon...

    Did you have her in with your male? Did you see any locks between the two of them? If so... how long ago?

    o yea ive seen many locks with them up until yesterday morning... they havent locked since then and im always checking them... the people i bought her from had her with a male and they were locking up then and i ended up buying that male also to keep them together and they have been locking up every day since i bought them about 3 weeks ago... so if she goes into shed soon then that means that it could possibly be a P.O.S.? sorry im new to the breeding thing and i also thought they get blue not pink when going into shed

    Yes, you are right. If you have seen many locks and she is getting ready to shed now this could very very very well be her P.O.S.

    I don't know anything about breeding, but the sheding is the same anyways ^_^

    They do go 'blue' when they are getting ready to shed. Their eyes turn a foggy blue and their body looks more pale than usual. Kinda get a greyish tone to them. The pink comes in just before they go 'blue'. It's a good way to tell a bit sooner that they are going to shed.

    So their belly will turn pinkish, then a few days later they will go into blue. Here are some pics of my girl in 'blue' to give you an idea

    This is her normally

    This is just before she sheds, while she is in blue.

    I thought a had a pic of her belly during shed but I don't guess I do. Sorry ^_^
