female laying inverted!

alexestrada May 26, 2009 04:51 PM

i have a female about 1900 grams. i had put a black pastel male in with her just to see if anything would happen..i didnt see anything so i sepratded them after maybe a couple of hours. today i go to check up on the snakes and she is laying inverted, i have not seen any ovulation or nothing but could this mean she is possibly gravid from maybe one lock-up? she is still pounding medium rats like there is no tomrrow! but i have noticed her laying inverted twice.
thknas for the help,
Alex

Keep cycling the female with the male for 5-7 days or so at a time. Separate then and offer food, then back together.

I would continue this for a month. What state are you in and what temps are they kept in? You need to watch her behavior and her shed cycles then to determine gravidity.

Good luck!
