    i was always under the assumption that the babies were supplied nutrients from their sacks like eggs and are not connected to mother for food, only blood/oxygen. jeff may know whats going on lol

    Yes Tommy that is correct as far as the sacks feeding the young, all I meant which I should have made more clear is that gravid females body is going through the process of getting those snakes into the world and packing on some extra meals beyond what she would normally be used to isn't doing her any harm with her body doing extra work it wouldn't normally be doing if she were not gravid.
