I was just wondering WHY my female keeps on roaming her cage day and night? there are no signs of ovulation, and she had already copulated at least 8 time since oct 08 til last month in feb, no post shed, no coiling, and no glow, im not asking if this is a sign for good things to come in the future but maybe something else? insight is much appreciated.

I would bet it's one of these:
Is she hungry?
Is it too hot? too dry? too humid?

Could you have missed ovulation and a shed?
Mine roam their cage when they are searching for a lay spot. It is usually 1-3 weeks before eggs come. Keep an eye on her.

i dont think i have missed the ovulation because i would see and check up on her everyday since she started copulation in oct of 08, she did shed at least three 3 times since, she hasn't eaten since 2/28/09, all other snakes are eating except this other male that i have, probably because he was breeding. Temps now are back to normal which are ambient is 80-84 hot spot 90-92 all day all night. humidity is 58-60% all day and night. she weighs 2200
