haha

She deffinatley looks lumpy and bumpy... we have had one shed in the past at around 2 weeks before her due date, we were so certain she was gravid, yet no babies to be seen... her due date came and went... then two days after it she popped out 34 neonates for us, with 5 slugs.. all babies were in perfect health aswel... So fingers crossed for you

i have my money running on her being gravid, the bulds are nearer the last thrid, idicating where the ovaries are, the stomach however stretches between the 1st and 2nd third, thats why you should avoid handling a snake after feeding before the bulg(food reaches at least past a third of the lenth of the snake.


my suggestion for you is that she is gravid , the shed is normal in some boas, it justy means that her underlying skin under the scales and the scales are being vastly stretched, and with the new being more flexible, stretchy and durable than the old when shed, some say its to stop discomfort?
