Gravid?

warriorprncss3 Oct 12, 2004 06:39 PM

Okay I posted this question a few days back but I'm guessing no one will see it since its about halfway down the page now. My 4 1/2 foot female ball python is housed with another slightly larger female. I was cooling the male for about 3 weeks and then due to lack of space moved him in with the females temporarily. They have been together for a few weeks now. A few nights ago the female in question tagged my boyfriend, escaped, and almost tagged me. It took a hook and a towel to get her back in her enclosure. Since I am gravid and pretty much on bed rest I haven't been witness to much of their activity. I'm wondering if she might be gravid. She was regularly eating thousand gram rats before being introduced to the male so she's definately up to size and this change in her personality is astounding. She's normally one of the best balls I have when it comes to temperment. Please help. Thanks,
Sera

Could just be stressed from being housed with other snakes.
