Dan,
. It is hard to tell much from the PICs. At that size and weighing 1600 grams you might be able to see or feel individual lumps for each of the babies if she is gravid. Each baby is encased in a membrane and is about the size of a hens egg. They are soft pliable masses but will make visible and palpable lumps in many smaller gravid BRBs. Your link to PICs did not work but I found your PICs fairly easily and I will post one of them here.
Good Luck,
Jeff

Once agian Thanks Jeff!
If I were to feel these lumps, where on the snakes body should I feel, I have tried to see if I could feel somthing, but didn't felt much.
Could I damage the female or her eggs (if she haves any) by taken her out, or should I hold the handling on a minimum?

best regards

Dan,
. I hold back on handling them when gravid. I do clean cages twice a week and get a good look at them at that time. When I take them out and put them back into cages i handle them gently. They carry babies from just aft of midbody to just forward of the vent.
