What do you think? She last ate a big meal 9/8 and was viewed mating (no penetration witnessed though) for 20 days with the same male who lost interest 2 weeks ago. The pics dont capture the true difference but if you notice at the lower 3rd part of the body...just after the top bend, there is a noticable change in girth ending just before the pelvic area.

The last pics was at the end of their copulation at the end of Sep.

I think you should put the male back in. I don't think he's finished yet. I think what your seeing now is the pre-ovulation swell.

I agree, I'd put the male back in too.

I went ahead and put him back in. So far, there has been no activity. It looks like rain and I will mist heavy....if it works, snake porn on the way.
