I have to agree with you about maintaining a proper environment. She was in a boaphile cage so keeping the humidity at the proper levels is pretty easy. I also like to keep the cages clean when they are gravid (not that I have had too many gravid females with my limited experience). I used newspaper with aspen bedding over it so when she would go from one side to the other I would replace it in sections. I did not feed her alot during her pregnancy so she did not mess up the cage much anyway. Thanks for taking the time to reply. It has been helpful and will help me in the future.
