She has not eaten since September now all of a sudden she is all swollen.

I have been putting a male in with her periodically do you think he hurt her???

No she is just a big female that was getting a bit too friendly with a het caramel.
Looks like I might have some possible hets to dink around with for a while.

She is a solid rat eater, but I haven’t weighed her in two months, and she has refused to eat since I introduced the male with her the first time in Oct. So she is probably less now maybe 1750-1800 I'll have to weigh her again soon.
She is still solid though.

those grossly swollen pythons and think “ouch!” first, then “whoopee!” Whereas the male keepers just say “whoopee!” Something to do with ovulation and empathy, right ladies?

Good luck, Tom!

My first thought was for the male, "He doesn't prefer an alternative life style"

I only saw him lock up a few times, and he used to hide from the female on the opposite side of the tub.
I was a bit leery if he was ready, but he is around 2.5 years old and about 1100 grams.
