I'm not sure. When did she have a male friend?

[slipknot711]

ive had them for about 2 weeks now. maybe 3. but they were WC.

[slipknot711]

shes probably pushing 2ft also. i know its hard to see her size with nothing to compare it to

[guidofatherof5]

Time will tell.;)

I got a wc female that's pretty big IMO anyways that has been with a male about half her size, for almost a year now and i have seenthemholding tatails a few times, this has been several months ago now, but anyways I have thought she was gravid a few times because of scale spread that can be seen from time to time but i don't know how long it takes from mating to birth or if she might be holding back for later. But now she has 2 males and the new one is closer to her size so I'm hoping something goes on (boom chicka wow wow) but all i know to really do is wait and see like Steve said fingers crossed for both of us :D

i got my fingers crossed!!! if she does have babies i want to release the adults and most babies where i found them and maybe keep one or two scrubs. she seems to be bigger than when i first got her and she is a pig at feeding time!

Best answer at this point is, I don't know.

[slipknot711]

yeah me neither, but hey gotta ask the experts! ;)

Maybe a closer pic of her scales where she should be holding them would help...to see if there is any spreading of the scales? Other than that i have no idea how to tell if a snake is gravid or not

[slipknot711]

i will try to get better pictures. thnx everyone for trying to help. shes just a fiesty ole bitch lol. but ill def try for better ones tonight

I'm playing the ol' "Is she gravid!?" game myself right now... does anyone have pics (or a link to a thread with pics) of the scale 'spread'? Is it better to look for it on the lateral sides of the female? With my corns, it is much easier to tell (because of the eggs and all). With this girl, I was still hoping to be able to tell from the ventral scales... flat usually, but bulbing out toward the bottom (she seems to have that... but its not like I was looking at those scales when I DIDN'T think she was gravid, so I don't have much of a comparison!).

Here's a good scale spread look.
