Craigslist glow
This is one of my rescue girls. I named her Sizzle because of the mass scarring. She had a run in with a heat rock a few owners ago. I'm not sure of her age, but she has been bred by my Spider. I'm not certain that she is gravid or if she can become gravid due to the scarring, but she is glowing after her shed.
Has anyone had any experience with breeding a badly scarred female? I have a needle on hand just in case she is gravid and gets egg bound.

Re: Craigslist glow
Hi,
How much/ bad is the scarring on the lower third of her body?
Since that is where a lot of the swelling will be after ovulation.
Looking at the scars I can see the ovulation would be the bit I was most scared about rather than egg binding.
But I have zero experience of this so these may well be unfounded fears.

The lower 1/3 of her body is ok. The middle 1/3 of her body is where the most of the scarring is. The scarring is bad.

Not to be rude but this might have been a better question to ask before breeding her.

I did do my research(Before Breeding Her) which all pointed to a snake reabsorbing eggs or not developing them at all if the reproductive organs are damaged from scarring. I Just wanted to know if anyone had on hands experience with a scarred female successfully having a clutch.

The problem isn't really her reproductive organs being scarred. If there is going to be an issue, it's going to be her skin not being pliable enough when she starts to swell with eggs.
Best of luck.

Maybe it's just me, but I would think that a rescued snake like this one really shouldn't be used in breeding projects. Their bodies have been subjected to enough stress thanks to neglectful or abusive keepers who had them before.
