100 days POS question

Pithons May 19, 2009 05:53 PM

My female is 100 day POS. Or should I say since her last shed. Well I went into the snake room today and it had a funny smell, so I looked at her tank. She did a couple of poops. I really havent been feeding her too much over the last few months. Is it normal for a snake to poop just before she gives birth?

Also, she is still big but doesnt really seem like she got any bigger in the last month. Im gonna clean the poo now and take some fresh pics. And I want your opinion if she looks like a female that is due to give babies in the next few days. Thanks.

I dont have my camera tonight. No pics tonight. But is it common for a snake to poop before it gives birth. Also the snake has been hugging the heat for the last few months and the last week has been crawling around the cage and been streching out. Is that common as well. To me, it all points to having some babies soon, but she didnt really 'grow' in the last month or so. ???

Roaming the cage and defecation are signs of babies being due. Assuming she has babies in her.

You were right.. I had a feeling something was up.. 29 live babies, 1 premi, and 5 potatos.
Be sure to look at my new threat I will create today with pics and details. Its is by sure an interestesting litter.

She should drop her babies within the next day or 2...dont worry

Post a pic of her.

I'm sure it was a more "Waxy" loose looking stool? Get ready for the babies!

Good luck-
