Well unfortunately I think my BRB threw me a curve. While gravid she was swollen but not huge, showed all the signs of being gravid, pre ovulation swell, ovulation, POS, weak feeding response, and kept most of her weight on the back half and got a little bigger.
Tuesday the 5th she had what looked like a waxy stool, I’m still pretty positive that's what it was
Thursday the 7th she had what looked like waxy looking urites, but still no babies
Monday the 11th I went to check on her and check her belly to see if it was soft (gravid) or hard (normal)
well it was hard and I also smelt something that smelt like a week old rotten rat, on the side of the cage it looked like she pooped and it looked grey and slimy and not solid with a little bit of normal fecal. I emailed Dave the past few days getting his thoughts and to let him know what i found and he seems to think it's digested slugs, Is is possible she had slugs Thursday with the urites i found but no other afterbirth and ate the slugs before I could find her? i don’t know but that seems to be what it sounds like. She also shed Monday morning. On a good note, she looks outstanding other then being thin and if i can bulk her up next year I’m going to try matching her up with a different male.
Has been a bad year for me, lost a Suri RTB, my Sunglow boa had an infected abscess, which 4 months later is still on antibiotics and I’m not sure about, My big female blood python gave me 26 slugs and 1 good egg, the good egg had twins both with kinks, one died shortly after, the other is feeding on f/t mice and the kink looks to have almost disappeared. and now this.
Well anyways here's a bad pic of the male I’m going to hook this female up with next year if she puts on the weight, his name is Elijah and was given to me by my friend Kelly. and also of the female with the male I had her with this year She is the high orange one
