From previous post possible "pregnant" corn pics

xblackheart Dec 16, 2005 11:18 PM

Here are some pics of the corn I just bought. The scales seem stretched and the person mentioned she might be pregnant. I know they are not very good picks, but can anyone guess. I'm not sure if I feel anything as she crawles over my hands.

Does look a little thick. Could just be fat though. If there is any doubt at all prepare a nest box!

I have a shoe box with moist vermiculite in her cage. Wondering how long I should wait to put her in brumation, though. I don't want to take a chance that she does have eggs, and end up killing her

To me that looks like a little fat. Which could be a good thing actually if your breeding that female snake this season. If shes pregnant though you could put a sweaterbox into her enclosure with moist spaghnum moss and cut an opening in the box big enough that she can go through.
