Have a look through this link. There's some great breeding info there as well as genetics and clear pictures of the different stages a gravid female goes through.

Has she been with a male? I ask this not to be rude just wondering since you sound rather new to ball pythons.If she has not been with a male then you are over feeding her.
thanks a lot for the pic looks good i`ll just have to keep my fingers crossed eh?

You can not go by the spurs as a way to be 100% sure of the sex.It is possible the guy was wrong.Take your snakes to someone who knows how to probe snakes correctly.I am not being rude here just honest

Re: pregnant bp
Well, I would seperate them and give them different enclosures. I hope your female isn't too small for breeding.
bpkid :- no it`s not the one in my profile but if i got this right you should see her for yourself

Re: pregnant bp
I'm not an expert, but it looks just fat to me. Just still, make sure you get another enclosure and seperate them as ball pythons are not supposed to be housed together.

Re: pregnant bp
i have already seperated then the big one is in a four foot tank and the small one is in a three foot tank
as i say if shes fat do i care, no we still love her but just out of interest can you still handle a pregnant bp as normal she loves her cudles thats all

Actually you should care if she is just fat as that could shorten her life span or cause her to never be able to breed.When and if she ever does infact become gravid no you should not ever handle her during this period.My opinion i think you should stick to them being pets for a couple years and get there care and experiance under your belt before you try to breed them.Like i always state i am not being rude here just very honest;) .

Re: pregnant bp
this was my girl Ginger just before her pre-lay shed. you could feel slight bumps (the eggs) inside her.. would you believe there were 8 full sized eggs in there? :)
well i dont think that there is much diff between the photo of your ginger and my big fella (who i now think is a big lady) :-) at least someone on this site has given me some hope and by the way she had a shed on the 12th of aug and yes she dose feel quite lumpy
well we`ll just have to wait and see
