Sitting here... wondering... while each day goes by... if my blue beauty is gravid or not is killing me.
On February 2 I put my pair together because my female all of the sudden became uninterested in food. I thought for the hell of it that I would give it a go and instantly the two hit it off. Wrapping their bodies up in tightly bound spirals-they looked like they were in love. Nuzzeling--snuggling--The male was trying to get underneath her to breed.
I never actually saw copulation--but they were definitly going through the moves. The two seemingly to accept one another...
I got so excited--but since I never ACTUALLY saw the two together I'm not quite sure...
Ugh--it's killing me.
She has refused food ever since the (hopefully) breeding took place until tonight. She ate one small rat and nothing more. She isn't loosing weight by any means and I actually think shes gaining (it could be me just being hopeful?)
Only time will tell...
If she goes into a prelay shed it should happen the second week in April--which is in 3 weeks....
Estimated time of lay-- April 16th....
If she's not-- I will truly be heartbroken. I've wanted this for SOOO long... I seriously think I'll cry...
The suspence is KILLING me...
This is my first time breeding snakes (it's insanely obvious), and my blue beauty's of all things (my favorites!)... so out of this whole expierence I either will be very happy or very very sad...
Any thoughts, comments?
Any advice or thoughts would help... Thanks!
