    Gravid or Hunger Strike?

    My female ball python has never refused a meal. The only hunger strike was the first four months after she came to the house. After four months the tank was moved to my room, I took over feeding, and she's never given me an issue.

    Until now.

    She's been breeding on and off with one of my male's, but I had stopped tracking things as much while prepping for in case I picked a new snake up at a reptile convention I was going to. I haven't had a clutch out of her in the two-three years I've had her, but, I haven't been really focusing on trying honestly so I didn't think anything would come up with her. The convention has passed and now she's not eating, hasn't eaten in nearly two and a half months... but she's got a slight, sudden, lump to her from the side now and I wanted to know if I should consider scrambling to set up a incubator. There's also a curve to that area of her underside when she's being held.

    (I put her in my largest tank that's currently empty to take the pictures; I can try to get more if need be.)
