Hello!

I just got into breeding this year, but I had been wanting to get into it for a few years prior. After several locks, building, ovulation, and a shed that was complete 4 days ago, I am excited for what I hope to be my first clutch.

I pay a lot of attention to how my ball pythons are behaving, and I understand I'm often overly concerned about things that might not matter. However, I've noticed she has been urinating frequently (1x/day for the past 4 days), with a slightly different odor than normal ball python urine. I know her hormones are probably changing as she prepares to lay, but has anyone else ever noticed this? Should I be concerned? I wouldn't think it would be a sign of dystocia since the shed was so recent, but she is spending almost all of her time on the warm side of her tub and starting to coil.

Thank you!
