She was being couted heavily? around two months ago, now males have lost interest. She is 5 years old and has never missed a meal. I removed the males a montha go to see if that would help and nothing. Shes at 82 during the day and 77 at night. She has good weight and no signs of any health issues . Stool and urates ok. Should I worry. Thanks for your help
CONGRATS ON EVERYONE'S LITTERS!!
Markos
sounds like she could be gravid! My heavy feeding females usually slow down to one rat every three weeks if they even eat at all. Good luck and you will find out in a few looooooooonnnggggg weeks. I know I am still waiting.
She never swelled or shed. I was thinking the same thing. She still has good weiht but deff. thinner. Maybe the temps? Thanks for your help.

Your temps should be between 78 degrees at the cool part and 90 degrees for the warm part. I think you need to up your heat, especially if she is gravid. She needs a warm place to incubate the babies. I recommend belly heat in the form of an undertank heater, or a radiant heat panel. Best of luck with her. What kind of heat do you have in the cage now?
It's Markos from Brooklyn. Long time no speak! She isn't gravid. Males just stoped courting her, so I tried to feed and no luck. Last meal she had was 11/20/09. I have boaphile 4 footer with heat. Keeping temps lower for breeeding. Nice seeing you on kingsnake. Hope all is well.
