gravid sidewinder??

herphobbyist Apr 17, 2007 11:22 AM

*** I've never bred sidewinders so I don't know for sure if my female is gravid. I've kept several species of hots in the past but never bred them. The top pic is the female and the bottom the male. Does she look like she is gravid? She eats a hopper mouse every 10 days so I don't think she is just fat. I've noticed the weight increase the past few weeks when she out of her hide. thanks

The wrong pics are attched above. Those are both pics of the male. I'll try again to post the female here. thanks

Possibly, hard to tell from that Pic. I wouldnt expect anything soon. The recent swelling might just be her ovulating. This is breeding season for her, have you noticed them locked up?

My C. cerastes ssp. broods always dropped for me in August.
