What you have right there is a chunky monkey. And definitely building. Pretty close to ovulation if I had to guess, follicles most likely being upwards of 30-35 mm if you can't feel them anymore. Try not to handle her too much, you don't want to stress out a preggo momma😊 congrats!

P.s: I feel like I remember reading something about a pre ovulation shed, but I might be imagining it. Keep a close eye out for an ovy any day now

i read the same thing about a pre ovy shed but I thought they needed tail suck with that, which she doesnt have. I havent handled her much. about 5 minutes over 3 days

First off congrats to you for taking these animals and knowing you were going to have to vet them! Not many people do that. Now a few things. Make sure your heat is on point to really reduce stress and bring these snakes back to health, also to help the CG with the RI fight it off. Keep an eye on everything else as they may be sick as well (he could have cross contaminated due to carelessness) I'd also give them a few days before trying to feed again. You want them to calm down and let them adjust before possibly stressing them with live food. Another thing I would like into is nebulizing (with F10 I believe) the CG with RI maybe it'll help cure him sooner. Other than that, I think you're doing a great job.

Btw Banana and CG are the same thing, don't let anyone tell you different. Use whatever name you like. Banana or CG, just stick to one LOL.

Yea I have looked into fogging with the f10 solution. was gonna check around for foggers. I believe I saw the post here from the guy whos parents were vets describing what to do.

as for the husbandry end of things. everything seems to be pretty on point. I have the thermostat probe on middle rack. and have checked the tubs for temp. bought a infrared temp gun but its garbage and not accurate. Ive increased the size of the possibly pregnant het pied from the 28qt she came in to 41qt because she is 1900g and working on finding tubs(41qt) that will fit this rack for the other pythons as one is 1200g 1100g 900g and 660g(weights i posted earlier were from the seller and were inaccurate) the 900 and 600 i assume can stay in the 28qt for a bit longer but id like to get the 1200g male and 1100g female into bigger tubs. might go with 34qt temporarily until I can find a 41 that fits the dimensions I need for this homemade rack.

yea she is not gravid. she is not getting bigger nor showing signs of bulges anymore and is eating consistently. as well as passing what she eats.

Just an update. Sadly the male coral glow did not make it. I have him his injections and followed up over the phone with vet to make sure he was doing better and found him dead today

[PitOnTheProwl]

That's a horrible loss. I was hoping you rescued them all in time... Hopefully future updates will be good news!
