i have a Snake that is graved and she keeps bowing up like she is having contraction or something and a few times she has opened her mouth wide well doing it like it is hurting her but if i pick her up to look her over wen i saw here doing this and she acted fine with tong flicking and all has anyone seen this she has been off food for about 2 weeks so i thought it should be getting close for her to drop

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.

so i don't know what in the would all is going on with this girl but now for the last few days she has been acting like her old self but now the last 2'' of her tail does not move and its kind of feels mushy

i would have to find what i did with my cam but just to look at it you cant see anything wrong i just saw she was not moving it so i picked her up and the tip of it is limp and to the touch it feel like a over ripe plum

Any swelling or discharge?

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.

no there is not any swelling at all and color looks normal just looked in on here its like she might lose the end of her tail or something it is like it is full of water

A photo would be helpful.

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