I cant tell if my GTP female is gravid or not, can some one help me?
My male and female GTPs mated almost every day from about July 10th through August 10th. The female ate her last rat on August 8th and shed last on August 22nd . my male has not eaten since June 26th . and shows no more interest in mating . my female is still very fat and heavy in the middle but not so much towards her vent. I breed lots of other snakes like hognose, milks, kings, rats, and some others and I can almost always see or feel the eggs in them but not with my female GTP. Should I just put a egg laying nestbox in her cage after she sheds? And then is it about 21 days from her pre egg laying shed tell she should lay her eggs? They breed last year as well and nothing ever came from it so now I am just wondering if its something I am doing wrong? They are in separate two foot square cages, with temps from the low 70s to high 80s, and I mist them every day or so. Here are some pictures of my male witch is the smaller of the two and some of my female showing her midbody witch is about the size of a hand ball. Please let me know what you all think.

THANKS

JIM

I would hope someone of knowlege would reply to this question....I have bred boas and colubrids but not GTPs and would not like to comment other than to say they are beautiful arus. keep us posted...I think you wouldnt have any problem selling their offspring.
