Well, I don't really want to take her in to a vet to find out. What you said is actually good enough: some of yours didn't show until past halfway, which mine is not up to. The main thing I was wondering was whether or not she should be showing. I have rosy boas I'm breeding for the first time this year (proven with another keeper) that have already swelled up, and that made me wonder about my boa constrictor. I'll go ahead and treat her as gravid.



Just now, she looked a little swollen in the midsection, but not towards the tail. The tail was, however, draped over her water bowl. She ate last on the 21st.



Thanks for your help!
