I've had my female snake for five years and her "boyfriend" for about 2 and a half years. They've always been together. Now she's preggers and I don't know what to do. Do I have to remove him while the eggs are gestating or after the lay? If I take the eggs out and put them in an incubator should I try to feed her when that happens? Should I utilize an incubator? Is strange behavior normal for a gravid snake? e.g. she's in her water bowl constantly, she's usually never soaking, ever! I'll probably be posting throughout this whole process but it would help a lot to calm my jitters by getting some more info, specific websites perhaps. I just feel like I should be preparing or something!
Thanx
