I'm afraid I don't have any pictures of either of my females when they were gravid. I can say this much though. Swelling was quite apparent after 4 weeks, especially when I observed the ventral scales as they bulged out from the body instead of remaining flat like they normally do. Swelling as also located within the last third to half of the snakes length. My first female laid a clutch of 8 eggs and didn't swell as far down her body as the second female. Both females underwent a pre-egglaying shed about a week prior to oviposition. My second female underwent a total of two sheds during the 61 days of gestation with the first occuring at between the 3rd and 4th week after copulation.
