Gravid?

snowfyre Jun 11, 2003 12:10 AM

I have an adult female hypomelanistic corn from Zuchowski stock. Great feeder and everything. Now I never saw the snakes breed but I saw many attempts. I have not fed the corns incredibly much but my female corn is quite thick in the back end. I don't feel individual eggs though. Is it possible for her to still be gravid? I can't see her being actually fat as she's not had that many meals. The snake is very healthy and I'd be really thrilled if she were gravid. But I'm not sure.

Thanks!
Dannie

Sounds gravid to me. I have had many snakes lay eggs but I have never been able to feel the eggs. If she is getting thicker close to the cloaca she is about to lay eggs.
