Thanks for replying, Tom.

To answer your questions:

#1 do you know if they bred before or is this their first year?

I do not know but my guess is that this is her first year.

#2 did you keep the one egg, do you have a picture of it

I kept the one egg but it went bad pretty quickly. No pics, unfortunately because I had left my camera at my boyfriend's house (he lives an hr away).

#3 how often are you peeking in on the snake? You may be stressing it out which won't help any

I've been trying to leave her alone. After the first day (Tuesday), I checked on her about 4 times on Wednesday, 3 times on Thurs & Fri, decided to go out of town (to bf's) to give her some true peace and quiet & checked on her once today.

The days I checked on her 3-4 times, I did so once in the morning, once during lunch and then once in the evening. The day that I checked on her 4 times, the extra time was to give her a nesting box with damp (not wet) perlite in it.

#4 was the snake in good condition when you received it or was it possibly dehydrated? Is there water in the snakes cage now?

No, she's not dehydrated - she has always had access to water (and yes, there is water in with her now). So I'd say she was in good condition (at a normal weight - not fat, not skinny).

Another aside - I've been keeping her at a pretty consistent temperature of 78-80 during the day and 72-74 at night.
