Meet the gang!

Honestly, what you described sounds like she's about to have babies.

Don't be one bit surprised if you find a litter any day now.

She seems too small to have babies! Should I put her or Snakey in a different enclosure? I don;t have anything suitable to really put them in :/ Snakey could go in Runts tank, he seems to enjoy the company haha.

It's really hard to believe that Mama would be pregnant, but would be fitting of her name . But really, she hasn't really gained any weight at all, at least she doesn't look bigger. All mothers probably wish they didn't get bigger when they were pregnant

Well, it could also be that the female is just ready to breed. Ordinoides can breed at different times of the year. In the wild some breed in very early spring, others in fall. Basically they can breed any time of year and sometimes to multiple males. The sperm is held until the female is ready to ovulate, then she becomes gravid. That's one of the reasons you can't count on babies a certain number of days after breeding. I have had small females that didn't look gravid but dropped a couple of babies anyway, say 2 or 3.

That makes sense. So, should I just leave both of them in there for now?

[ConcinusMan]

I see no reason to separate them. If babies happen to appear, separate those from the big ones.

Will do
They've been sleeping all day... Mama is coiled up on top of poor little Snakey... She uses him like a pillow all the time, haha poor guy.

Mama's been sitting in her water dish for 20 minutes. She's a bit more calm today and seems to be wanting attention, she's rubbing her nose on the glass and when I put my hand in the tank she slithered over and coiled up in my hand. She's so cute

Tonight was feeding time for the adults, Snakey at two pinkies! Mama was extremely skittish, she didn't eat anything and if it moved slightly it scared her out of her wits. I wiggled the pinky and she took off and smacked against the glass I held her for a little bit and she just kind of laid there limp for a while, she didn't slither around very much but she was interested in my web cam I was showing her to my boyfriend and she came up to the web cam and stuck her nose in the lens. Poor Mama. At least Snakey has his belly so full he can't barely move :P

I can tell you know your snakes. That's good for all of you.

Yep both Mama and Snakey enjoy attacking their "daddy" on the web cam. Runt doesn't so much but Mama and Snakey are all over it. The little camera whores
