Most of you remember the post a few days ago, of me asking about my female flipping on her back.
Someone said it could be because she recently ate, but its been about a week, and she is still flipping over. She has been for about a month now.
I put a male Yellow Belly in with her, just out of curiosity. Hoping they'd lock.
But I came in and looked and she was flipped on her back coiled around him.
After I opened her cage, she partially flipped back normal before I could get the pic, but you get the idea.

One of my females did this for about 4 days a couple of weeks ago and I was starting to get wigged out by it, but then she stopped. On a side note, you mentioned that you put a male with her. I had several snakes a few weeks ago quit eating for me so I put some pairings together and everyone of them locked up that night. Not sure what triggered them but I'm not complaining.

Don't go looking for snakes--you might find them.
