Wow, how did I forget to mention the glow, lol, Thanks loonunit Yes as mentioned above females will go through drastic color changes getting very bright and light in the dark areas, especially around the neck. They will also go off feed a couple months to a couple weeks before ovy. I offer several times after 1st refusal and if they keep refusing 3-4 times I stop offering.
In one of the links I've been reading, it says the colour change is pretty drastic and almost looks like a completely different snake, so I'm thinking this is something I won't be able to miss (hopefully).
