    Saw one of mine do the same thing when she was gravid, starting about a week or at least a few days before she gave birth. All went well.

    Re: contractions ???

    How is everything now? Any news? Cee Cee does this weird thing where her whole body looks as if she is swallowing food...but it is reversed so that it looks like waves coming up her body and then she opens her mouth...it is a regurgitation attempt. So, I'm not sure if that was what was going on with your snake or if she is having contractions. Pics of her vent area might tell us something.

    Could it be a retained shed that water has got behind. That could explain why that part of the tail is just dead.
