Sorry for the bad quality picture but im kind of in shock first ill show the pic then ask my question...


how does a snake get gravid when you havent paired her up unless she retained from last season is this possible???? kinda confused.

Yes, they can retain sperm from the previous breeding season. I believe I've heard of confirmed cases where a female retained sperm for 2 or 3 seasons even.

There is also something called parthenogenesis (I think), which is when a female essentially clones herself and becomes gravid without ever having contact with a male.

i was thinking retained sperm but i didnt want to jump to conclusions or anything so ill just wait and find out i guess this season is full of surprises for me i guess jeezz a lil more then i was thinking next think ill know is my mojave will be a female lol

[greghall]

[Sloanreptiles]

Thats doesn't always mean they are gravid, we have males do that all the time.
