The one on it's side is if that's its regular behavior.

The other could just be building.

The first one has never really done this before. She keeps looking like she's dead with her whole body and head sideways just laying there I'll I touch her or beat on the tub.

The laying on the side thing is usually a sign of egg repositioning.

Looks promising so keep your eyes peeled for those pearly whites.. ;)

Does she stay on the cool side?

First one looks like it is about to drop some eggs for ya and in the pic I can clearly see bumps that are the right size for eggs so I am gonna say she has 6 eggs that are about to come out... The second none looks gravid as well.

More or less she is staying on the cool side by the water bowl. But she also just ate and a breeder I know says that his sometimes eats small meals even tho there gravid or even about to drop.

Now she's been on the hot side been there all day.

They will seek the hot side for digestion but for the most part they won't eat. Did you see ovulation?

No I never looked for it. Wasn't expecting it since she never went off feed and I stopped pairing here.

I'd say the first girl looks promising for sure!

Thanks everyone. She hooked up with my pastel about 5 times back in may than stuff got real busy and I stopped to wait for next season. But I hope she is.

Any updates on those females???

I would like to follow this thread. Will you post updates along the run?

Yes I will I don't have any males with her rite now because im giving her the weekend off. I will be putting my black pewter with her again on Monday.

There is no reason to put anything with one if they are gravid. Both appear to be gravid. Pairing will honestly do nothing for you. If I was you I would be getting the incubator ready if it is not already.

Okay sounds good. This is my first time so any info is great. This morning after getting off a 48 hour shift from work she has her back half wrapped around her water bowl. This is the second snake I'm talking about. The other one is my buddies girl, I just have her until he gets a new place we were roommates a month ago.

The first one pictured has eggs in her. I am willing to bet on it. The second one doing the bowl wrapping and all that appears gravid as well. Give it some time and you should have eggs. Do you have the most recent shed dates on either of them? If so you will have a date for when you should have eggs.

When you put the male in, is he still breeding them? If so, they are not gravid. Are they eating? If they are, generally not gravid

Male will not breed her. She has eaten a few times.

It is not uncommon for a gravid female to eat. I had one a while ago that never once went off of food. She once ate and then a few hours later that day laid perfect eggs.

So when there gravid will they look bigger? She looks the same. But she has been staying on the cool side and my males want nothing to do with her. They both are producing plugs.

They will look a little bigger but not a dramatic difference from my experience... Some I have had look huge when about to lay and others look pretty much normal. If you look at her when she is relaxed you can actually see the eggs there. The first pic you can see them clearly. Just keep an eye on her and you should have eggs soon. When she looks like she is about to have a really big bowel movement then you know you will have eggs extremely soon. Could you post updated pics of both females? Lower half mainly because you can see how the eggs are sitting and if she is getting ready to lay.

Honestly, what you are describing sounds like building behavior more than gravid behavior. Bowl wrapping and cool seeking are both indicators that she's working on things, but isn't there yet.

I will get a pic up tomorrow afternoon. I don't have the bigger female that was wrapped around the bowl because I was holding it for my buddy and he got her back now. I just moved and don't have internet yet and cell phone service sucks and can't get the pic to upload.

So its been awhile since I've updated. Since the last update she has ate she is still wrapping her bowl and this morning she was not just on her side she was lasting het whole belly up on the cool side. I keep putting males with het just in case but none if them want anything to do with her and both males are producing sperm plugs still.

Update. She is now in shed. Not sure if its from eating or what. The 25th was her last meal and was the second one since her last shed. She is still going inverted and on the cool side.
