    preggos?

    Ok so I bought a 100% het pied female oh about 2 months ago. in the 2 months she has gained about 300g (she was 900-ishg when I bought her) so now she is 1260g she is starting to look really fat. I weighed her on empty. she shed about 2 weeks ago. she has been acting really weird lately, alot more active, her back will have this kinda kinked look to it. well more of an "S" in her spine but as soon as she moves it goes away her vent area is looking fat and her color was really bright. I wont go as far as it is a "glow" but it is bright and sorta shiney in the sun. just found out my camera is dead so I cant really post any pictures. but from the described symptoms above, is she just growing or you think gravid.

    oh I did ask the guy who I bought it from if he had bred to her to anything and he said he couldnt remember.

    I tried to feel for eggs, but being that I never felt eggs before Im not sure what im looking for. I think I feel some hard masses about half way down her body, but it could just be her "clenching". oh and a side note, she has been "wagging" her tail alot.

    Thanks guys and gals! I will try to find a battery for my camera and see if i can get a pic for ya.

    I've seen crap come out after a tail wag. LOL
    I wouldn't advise to breed a female that small. It's probably been done though.

    I wouldnt breed before 1400g, keep in mind I just got her, she just got out of quarantine. so no other snake has been with her.

    the fatness looks bigger in person. haha.

    oh and I got my camera working here are some pics.

    her eyes are clear its just a few spots on her head, I pay so much attention to eye sheds. one of my problems child now has a dead eye cuz the person I got her from did not fix it. stupid people.

    Id still look into her humidity. She could probably use a good soak too considering that shed has been on her for a couple weeks.
