My first year breeding. I'm not sure if she locked up, i left them in over night so i couldn't see. I need to know so i can build an incubator.

It can sometimes be hard to tell with constrictors because of their muscle. Females often do not eat while gravid.

How long was she with the male? I would leave my males in with the females for 4 days, and then sometimes repeat after a few days if I didn't see it.

But you probably should build an incubator anyway - if she doesn't lay, then you have it for next attempt.

i had them together for at least 7 days. My friend said to get a cooler, a heater, a temperature gauge, perlite, and small tupperware's. mix the perlite together and put it in the tupperwares with the eggs. put the heater in the cooler and make sure it is at 82(i think thats what i is correct me if im wrong) every week air it out. has this worked for anyone.

I can't tell if she is gravid but I say what the heck go ahead and build the incubator anyhow!

I built this box, it has served me well for three years now. I am all thumbs when it comes to building so if I can put this together...
