    Ball python gravid suggestions?



    Locked 3 times earlier in the year, only took one medium rat in 2 months and is swelling by the day, never seen an ovulation, do you think she's gravid looking at her bottom half ?

    Yup

    I would guess that's what's going on. 14 days or so you should see a shed

    It shed 2 weeks ago exactly today, might have missed the ovulation but it seems to be swelling more and more, can see in-between her scales

    Check her belly in front of her vent, does she have "tail suck"?

    Looks like it is ovulating now to me. Has the color changed yet? I do not pronounce mine pregnant until I get a color change (unless it is a white snake).

    Update

    Ball python is now roaming all over, she shed exactly 3 weeks today, is it possible that it was her pre lay shed and the picture above isn't her ovulation?!?
