Not uncommon, but check your temps, they might be too low. How did you bring the snake out of brumation/put it in brumation? Have you tried a tree frog yet? Did you hatch out the eggs? If so how are the offspring doing? She looks ok to me, but I would recommend weighing her and monitering her weight.

All 13 eggs hatched out and they are all eating and doing great. Brumating was tough here in northern colorado because the temps constantly dropped real low into the teens or below teens outside back up to the fifties in the same week basically all winter so she was put into brumation right before one of the 4 blizzards we had and brought up once the temps stabilized for 2 weeks at 60 degrees,no temp. transition period really because I've heard there has been studies linking lower temperature transition into brumation can lead to respiratory problems especially with w/c..? Whats weird is she has never showed interest in frogs at all and I've tried several small live species of frogs so far and she hisses violently,lol,weird? Its still a little cool here so that may be it,we keep getting these crazy cold fronts that move in on top of warm weather so she probably just needs a little longer. I read of someone on here offering their hog egg thru a syringe and cather,but i'll wait a little for that. Heres a pic one month after laying eggs,she was a garbage disposal! Thanks,Kevin
