she has been off feed for a month, thought she was going to have babies a month ago, found her dead today, and she looked really bloated in the back, so I cut her open and sure enough she was full of jelly beans and a few dead fully developed snakes in the middle, the jelly bean back by here cloaca were half developed babies and all swelled up 4 times the size of a jelly bean. I am guessing that they clogged up when she should have given birth and then everything died inside her and went septic and killed her. When I cut her open it stunk to high heck, very rancid, and it wasn't just from her death because she was alive this morning, but her dead babies were mush and ripe.

thanks guys she was one of my favorites of course. having babies certainly has it's risks. Luckily I still have a male axanthic so hopefully he will do some serious studding next spring.

Yes it was Richard and because you mentioned her, she died, you killed her:mad: just kidding man:D
She was so pretty and blue I was really looking forward to what her babies would look like.
