I have had some experience breeding pythons, and close observation of friends breed pit vipers and elapids. I have a pair of L. andesiana that have definately copulated, and she a couple of weeks ago shed. Females body increased in girth somewhat, but about a week (ish) ago I noticed a distinguishable swelling just fore of the vent by about 2 inches, and the swelling is about 3" long. This seems peculiar to me because this "swollen" area is slightly more swollen than the rest of her body and the swelling remains the same- both in location and size.
Could this be normal ? Could she be egg bound?
I am hoping someone with colubrid experience out there can give me some advice, which I would apppreciate very much!
