Mommy Dumeril To Be

She continues to grow, pic taken about 20 minutes ago. Interestingly, the babies seem to move up and down the length of her body.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a01fc15780.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...85e9453ef0.jpg

I'd be so excited if I were you right now

I took another pic of her about an hour ago. The camera however does not really convey the effect of how huge she really is. About 40 days to go, give or take a few. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...005c603a30.jpg

This is a crappy pic taken through the glass of her enclosure, but it actually gives a better idea of her size. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...97be69e5f5.jpg

When snakes are going through this time period, do you handle them at all or just let chill in their homes?

When I bred my boas or corns, I handled the females only if absolutely necessary to clean the cage.

I let them chill, I try not to handle at all.
Of course some handling may be needed in order to clean the cage.

You must be so very excited for her to finally give birth to hopefully lots of healthy and happy baby dumerils.
I am loving my new male dumeril, he is just around 3 months now. Dumerils are such great snakes!
Please keep us posted on mommy's progress... :thumbsup:

So I have some extremely sad news. She gave birth approximately 6 weks early. 17 Slugs and 1 Stillborn. We have had 3 heatwaves in the past 3 months, where twice temps spiked at 46C. This is my last season breeding her. She will live her life out as a pet.
