Female laying on her side

[cinderbird]

did you feed her recently?

my 650g girl was laying inverted and it turns out she just had a decently sized meal. apparently sometimes immature females do this just as gravid ones do.

It is very possible that she is gravid....speaking from experience. There are more cases of parthenogenesis happening since I experienced it with my snake last year. Don't count that out!!

Can BP's develop and lay slugs even with no past male introduction like corns can???

They can develop fertile eggs without any prior male contact...it happened to me last year & to a couple of people this year. Do a search on parthenogenesis on this site and you'll see.
