    Double Clutch?

    Has anyone ever had or heard of a ball python double clutching? I have a female at 56 days after laying that is huge again.

    Re: Double Clutch?

    Hi,

    Have you checked she didn't retain any?

    How is she eating?

    Is she pooping ok?

    Have you got any pics?

    Lot of questions I know but BP's don't double clutch so there could be something badly wrong with her if she is really swollen.

    I had one of mine retain eggs and it stopped her passing waste and her back end got really inflated.

    You should probably post pics so it would be easier to help.

    Re: Double Clutch?

    Corn snakes double clutch, don't they? But I've never heard of a ball python doing it.

    (If she does lay again, and it's not a health problem, man, I want one of those babies...)
