Play dead....

Good girl

I always find her sleeping like this. But when she's deep in shed, it has an even more eerie effect. This is also her POS. Can't wait to see how many she's sitting on top of in 40 days or so. She's around 3,000 grams.

If I came home and found my snakes like that I think I would have a heart attack.

That is definately an unusual sleeping position...

Good luck with the clutch!

Dude - Its weird, right after I hit send on the post directly above that has my girl lying upside down, I notice you had one with your girl lying on her side playing dead?

My girl was only 1450 grams - I think your 3k girl might have her beat with egg quantity...good luck man.

freaky. Do you think she laughs about it with the other BPs when you leave? "Damn girl! Did you see his face? That was too funny. Do it again!"

I've had her for a couple years. The first few times I found her like that, I was like "She's dead"! But now, I just grin and push the box back in. Yesterday though, with her in shed like that and her eyes all blue, I had to give her a tickle just to make sure. She looks like a freakin 3 day old corpse. She's an awesome snake. Biggest ball I have. She's up around 5 feet or more. Maybe being so big, it's hard to get comfortable. I'm betting on a dozen eggs from her, or at least 10 big ones. The wait continues.
