So I recently got a Female Normal Ball Python (she's a rescue, essentially). He claimed she was gravid, but I have my doubts. However, in case she is, I'm trying to learn everything I can and get as much information as possible. Now, when I asked when she supposedly locked with the male, he said in both October and November locks happened. That sounds like it would be too early for me to be only just now seeing signs of gravidness, right? Or is it totally possible that they locked only in October or November and she's only just now going to get gravid?

More info: He also brought the male over for a "sleep over" and they didn't lock - the male seemed to be trying, from what I've read, but the girl just didn't seem interested. I don't know if this is a sign or not. I can't say if she looks bigger than normal, because I've only had her about a week and have nothing to compare to. Right above her tail does seem to be a little swollen, but since I didn't have her before to see what she looked like, it could just be the shape of her body. Her midsection feels a little bit hard, but I can't tell if she's just contracting her muscles or whatnot. She's not sitting coiled in a perfect circle. She occasionally curls around her waterbowl, but not for very long, and it's not a tight coil, more like she was just going around it, thought it felt nice, and decided to stay. She's currently 2061g, but the previous owner didn't have a previous weight for her (didn't surprise me - he didn't take very good care of her). The past two days she's been loving the hot spot in her tub, laying as close to the heat as she can get.

Thank you for reading my jumbled and sporadic facts about this girl, and for any help and opinions I get! =] I really appreciate it!
