Here are awful pictures of my female BRB. The box she's in is 30". Now that I see her stretched out and still - in the photo - I guess she isn't gravid? You can see how chunky she is, tho, in the pic of my son holding her.

Amy,
....I think you are probably right. She just does not look lumpy enough to be gravid with more than a couple of babies. In the PIC where she has her tail end wrapped around your son's arm it looks like she is applying constriction. Gravid females can apply constriction with that part of their body when really panicked but typically will not constrict with the aft area of their body when gravid. Of course nothing it certain.

Thanks, Jeff. I really appreciate your input. Good luck with the new babies. We'll stop by to see them in Daytona. Have a safe trip.

looks like me and you are in the same boat and after i had my hopes up. BUT there is always another year and i had a great year so far. almost perfect hatch rate for my corn snakes 29 out of 30 perfect hatch rate for my carpets 16 out of 16 and so far my ball python eggs that are due to hatch in 2 weeks look great still so hopefully 7 out of 7 will hatch so cant complaine here well i do but i shouldnt. just meens another year of feeding to get her nice and big for another shot another time my offer is still out to jeff and dave if you need a gooey mess cleaner who will also clean other snakes cages imopen my fee is you pay gas for me to get there (small car its cheap) and let me sleep on the floor in the boa room and wait for days on end for them to lay babies lol

but there is always next year and I'm sure you'll get some great clutches out of her yet.
