Strange behaviour/gravid? ball python

Wow, that was FAST! Congratulations to you and your snake!

I'm just glad she's ok. Thank you for your time to respond and give advice. It made it a bit less scary when I didn't know what was going on. I guess best case scenario happened. Now I'll focus on getting her all plumped up again.
Still having trouble with pictures but when I can, I'll post

Thanks for the advice! She's all bathed and I did a total clean of her tank. She's restless but otherwise back to herself ☺️ I'll offer food tonight or tomorrow

I know how badly you want to see her eating again, but it's likely that she needs a few days at least to rest & rehydrate, especially since she was thin to start with (according to your description). Wait until you see some interest in food. Otherwise you'll likely be wasting your effort & the prey. A dehydrated snake may have trouble digesting & may barf it up, making things worse, since then you have to wait longer (a few weeks) before feeding, to give them time to replenish their digestive enzymes. Patience...

Quick FYI, I merged the separate thread with the photos in it with this thread so that everything is in one place for easier viewing.

Great job! Truly you have got mostly all points covered. Now that the scent of the eggs is gone make sure she has enough clean drinking water and soaking area. I think it’s not impossible for her to take a meal after about a week or so. Consider starting her out a smaller sized meal first. Keep us in the loop.

Did the eggs go into a incubator?

Yes I gave the eggs to a local breeder and she put them in her incubator. She said just 3 have veins. She took the children last year haha And they did great! I'm just not set up for them and honestly don't need more snakes 😅 as cute as the little clones are! And they were all as calm and sweet as their mom of course.

My girl normally takes FT large rats and I just have some pretty big mediums. So I'll wait until a shipment of small comes in to start her slow. Her insides have been through a lot

Okay pictures are working with Imgur!
This is a pic of Kahlil after her bath yesterday. I gave her a little steam while I cleaned. She looks tiny and thin to me but probably fine condition considering. She's usually about as thick as a coke can haha





The eggs!



Her 4 Partho babies from last year! Pictures taken in november I think. The first one is so light and pretty. Apparently she kept getting prettier.

You did a amazing job, congratulations. Actually jobs! Both clutches and the big girl looking fabulous. There is really something special about those babies also!

Thank you ☺️ I guess I'm going to get experience in this whether I like it or not lol
The babies are so lovely. It was hard to give them away.. but I knew they'd go to good homes and that's what is important. When I got Lil the breeder said she was "het for orange ghost" I really don't know anything about genetics other than that's recessive. Could she have made an orange ghost .. with herself? Haha or there is just some variety in normals

I agree, & btw, I don't think your big mama snake looks terribly thin either- they all look great-
