She has been laying on occassion with the side of her belly facing up, sometimes with parts of her belly facing up, but never completely "belly up". Which is why I did have some hope still remaining. Every time I give up hope, she does a little something that I've read, whether it be looking like a flat tire, or looking lumpy, or laying belly partially up, that causes me to perk up again.

Also I did have the male in and out with her after the shed as well, since I had read about the ovaries going at different times.

I had never heard of the "hanging" method before and will DEFINITELY do that when I get home tonight. Yay, snake wrangling! She did look lumpy in one position the other day (again, gave me a glimmer of hope), but only a small amount towards her tail, so maybe she is a slugger. I never saw any scale separation. Even during ovulation, she swelled but not gigantically so.

Already got the spare cage ready (since before her due date), so that's no problem, just don't know if anyone would be brave enough to move her or the babies to it in my absence.

We shall see, I'll try "hanging her bottom" this evening when I get home. And, if I can manage, I'll try to get a photo of it as well, though there's not a whole lot of room in my snake room to get a wide shot.

THANKS for that tip!
