I posted back in April regarding male turned female corn locking up with my other boy (completely forgot id posted sorry to the people that replied and i didnt respond)
It was 5 weeks since the lock on tuesday and Saturday she went into shed
Iv provided a lay box incase she is gravid but i honestly cant tell
Any idea if she looks gravid
Do they alway get obviously gravid or do some just not show
Her last meal was Saturday and was only a medium as my order was messed up and got sent 2 packs of medium instead of 1 large and 1 medium
Iv been feeding her every 7 days as a breeder recommended to feed more frequently
I really do hope she is
the last 5 weeks have really dragged
I bet im definitely not a patient person
A hognose breeder iv delt with told me to just try to put them out my mind and just check weekly thats going to be torture
Scale spread isn’t the most significant sign that a snake is gravid, and plus I can absolutely see it in the first and second photo you shared, not sure why those people were saying that…
Seeing that she has shed for you Saturday, you should expect eggs anywhere from today to a week from now.
I second this. Although, I am finally learning to weed out the helpful FB people from the not-so-helpful people. It helps me grow a spine by just not taking it personally and letting it bounce off.
But to any newbie, for SURE trust the people on here LONG before you trust the people on FB.
Im quickly learning that had someone tell me i was underfeeding one of my hognoses shes 9 months 60g being fed a hopper every 6/7 days they said i should feed 2 hoppers ever 4/5 days that would be close to a 3rd of her body weight
I’m no expert but she looks tail heavy which in my snake was only visual sign of pregnancy . If you weighed her before the lock and after, there would be also significant weight gain , mine got 20 gram in two weeks .
