Gravid or not?

[manangskie]

Few days ago she seems thin and looks like in a tail suck. And now when I checked on her again, she seems bloated even f she haven't eaten anything since she refused the last time I offered food to her. Do you think she is gravid?

Its possible. Hard to tell since we dont know what the snake usually looks like. good luck.

Yes I agree. We have the same problem. I bought this a month ago and I was told that it has been bred to mojave male a couple of months ago. So I'll have to prepare myself just in case it is gravid. Thanks for your response. she's restless now and is not bloated anymore.

Just an update, she had her shed last may 20 and hoping it's a prelay shed

The pictures are not the best to see her stretched out but one looks like she may be. Usually about 30 days or so give or take you will see eggs. So 5/20 shed will give you approx. 6/18 lay date. I am not sure about all this but that's what I have read.
