Mommy Dumeril To Be

On 27 July 2018, I noticed what looked like my Dumeril Ovulating.
This was confirmed when on 28 July 2018, she was still in the same position, and the swelling had grown slightly larger.
She has not eaten for about 1 month to six weeks.

I had thought that she ovulated about a month ago, but I was quite clearly very wrong.
Now to wait till the end of February 2019 for babies.

I hope you get lots of babies.

Baby Dumerils are too cute

She is gorgeous, congratulations hope you get lots of healthy babes. :D

congrats! she sure looks to be building.

Thank You for all the positive comments.
It is just such a long wait, before you see babies from this species.

Can’t wait for the pictures, congratulations!

This Girl is confusing me left, right and centre. I am unsure on whether she is Gravid, or only ovulating now.
She is huge, but the lump is situated where I would normally see an ovulation.

However, everything points to her being gravid. It is 57 days since what I thought was her ovulation, and she has gone into the blue.

I post a pic.
Please compare the two pics, the first one posted in July and the one I post now, and tell me what you think.

She never ate for about a month before the July pic, and has had two meals in the last 57 days.

Pickles & ice cream, by any chance? :D Fingers crossed for her & her upcoming family...

Sorry, I can't help. No breeding experience.

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm wishing you both the best!! Good luck!! I'll be watching for updates! Thanks for sharing.

In theory she should have about 100 to 120 days to go, so due around mid January or so.

Such a beautiful snake! I love the silver/black coloring.

I want to see a bunch of happy little babies.

Such a beautiful pattern, would love to see the hatchlings.

An update, she is getting huge. I will take a pic this weekend and post on Monday.

She is definitely starting to put on some serious size now, no more doubts, she is definitely gravid.
About 3 more months to go.

Sorry, the pic would not upload. Trying again.

Good luck.
Prettiest species out there.
If they stayed small, I'd own one.

Pretty cool, babies from a gorgeous mom. Congratulations.

feel silly, could not understand why a frying pan with an egg is in your enclosure, duh it’s a newspaper. Lol.

Lets see if the pic upload works now.

Trying to load the pic for the last time. If it does not work, I will try another method of doing so.

I can't see any on my side on my PC. I have now reverted to my Mobile. Can everyone else see the pics on PC, or can they only be seen on Mobile.

She is really progressing well. I took two pics this morning.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3ee3028356.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6df0646bbf.jpg

The Flower Patterns in her back are really stretching now.

She's really swelling, looks so cool, can't wait to see the baby pics

Still about 70 or so days to go, she is going to be very uncomfortable by then.

Took another photo this past weekend. I think she is starting to get uncomfortable.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3aa3a54126.jpg

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.

I am so sorry to hear that, very sad news indeed. I was very excited as you were to see all of the babies arrive, but mother nature had other plans....I hope mom is ok? Please keep your chin up and smile because you still have a beautiful ma ma snake. :D

Sorry to hear that,that's such a shame

Sad news. Keep your chin up. Best

Oh no.

That is very sad, indeed. I'm glad your girl is ok, though!
