i am prolly being paranoid but is my brown pregnant? i think it is the female of the two because the other one has a longer tail, they are both at or over 20cm long and i think this one looks fat considering i fed her a worm on friday.

She could be gravid, but I most likely wouldn't count on it. I'm pretty sure that Brown Snakes breed in the spring, I have bred them many times without trying. Baby Brown snakes are about 3 inches long(great food for Ringnecks) and I think are somewhat difficult to feed, needing the smallest worms you can find or small slugs. I wouldn't count on her being gravid but I wouldn't exactly know, good luck in finding out.

hmmm
I just posted a pic of a baby brown snake in a thread above. 
I have caught one gravid female in late sept who gave birth that same night. I have been told that was incredibly late in the year. She was noticeably swollen from mid body to vent. It never even occured to me that she was pregnant until the next day when she had given birth to 11 live babies.
I doubt that's much help but there you have it.
