Not really the best angle but I would say shes probally building for now.

Building

Too high up in the body it looks to me

Can you get an overhead shot? Maybe stretched out a little?

heres some better pics. i tried to stretch her out but she wasnt having it. she's about as big around as a coke can.

Still looks like building IMO

When was the last time she shed?

last time she shed was 12/15. i've been wondering if i missed the ovulation and shes about to drop:confused:

Agreed.

Its a 50/50

Dec 15 last shed would give her till about jan 12-20th to lay eggs after the shed count down.

Be sure incubator is running .

good luck! pretty lady!

I don't see an ovy but just keep an eye on her!!!

I am a vet and I would like to assure her that there is nothing to be worried. The snake is getting ready to lay eggs. So the best thing that she should do is not to disturb her. In other words she should leave the snake alone. She should also inform her family members about it. :snake:

With the angle it's hard to tell but I would go with building

If this is the case given the date you would have eggs already at this point it could any day (they usually lay 30 days after pre-lay of course I had females going 45 to 50 days after pre-lay as well but the average is 30)

Anyway when you get at that point you would also be able to clearly see the eggs and see are far the first one is from the vent.

Any update on your girl?
