Bp3 Rescue Surprise I'm Gravid

So I got a surprise from my Bp3 she's GRAVID. So here are a couple of pictures of her curling, then a picture of a lump, then she shifted and now shows 2 nice lumps. Enjoy the pictures and the surprise like I did.

That lump looks abnormal. Ive never seen lumps when a female is gravid due to eggs being soft.

Keep an eye on her to be sure shes not eggbound.. And if housed together separate asap.

Hi,

I agree - that doesn't look normal. :weirdface

i agree, eggs are soft and conform to the snakes shape not the other way around. she may have an obstruction or a very large bowel movement in her.
i haven't had a snake look that lumpy with a bowel movement either, just tossing ideas out there. i would keep an eye on her and make sure she is very hydrated.
feel the lump and see if its hard or soft. it may give you a better idea on what it is.
good luck with it

definitely not normal. keep an eye on her and do try to feel if it is hard or soft. how long have you notices this lump was there?

None of my gravid females show such pronounced lumps. I'm in the "not normal" camp. I'd be concerned if I saw that in mine. Is it hard or soft?

I agree with it being very abnormal too. None of my gravid females looked like that. A vet visit may be rquired here.

The only time I've seen lumps in a gravid female was when her upper half was being held and all the eggs look a bit more pronounced on the lower half while it hung down. They were never that pronounced, though. I'd definitely get her in to see a vet asap. That doesn't look normal. :(

I don't think that is normal either.

I'd be very worried if that were my snake.

If she's a rescue, goodness only knows what that could be!

I agree with everyone else, have a qualified vet check her ASAP, just to be sure.

Well it is safe to say, I did feel her, and they are soft she is gravid and those are not her eggs. That was a large poop ready to go. And you ALL give yourselves a pat on the back. SHE GAVE THE BIGGEST POOP I should have posted the picture, eeeeeewwww!!! I should have used a shovel. They are separated!! Still in quarantine, but separated! Nothing unusual about the poop either just Ginormous!!!!

ewwwwwww :rofl:

hahaha. very glad to hear that

Wow, rescue snakes seem to be malnourished and underhydrated, so then they get compacted. I have never personally witnessed anything like that, but very nice job. It is amazing how these animals respond to a little TLC.

Thumbs Up!! :banana:

You said it, she said she fed them once every 3 weeks!! Poor babies, they were skinny and there wasn't a water bowl in there. She said she put them in the tub once a week, once a week lets see she just got back and she was gone 3 weeks so. Yeah sure!!! The first thing I did was give them a bowl of water and all 4 of them put their fat heads in there and drink the bowl down, nuff said. The poop was ginormous you just don't know. She is still doing the curling not as much but she is still with her lovely lady lumps so to speak :P. And Thank you
