contractions ???

[luke.B]

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

I've never had a snake give birth yet. but it sounds like something is going on for sure Good luck, maybe offer a warm moist moss box.

She may be getting close. I wouldn't bother her much at this time, but feel free to keep an eye on her. Hope you get a nice healthy batch of little ones!

i have had baby's be for but have never seen this. she is in a tub with some moist paper towels. hope she is not in any kind of trouble.

It sounds like some kind of regurgitation attempt.
Definitely something to watch. I don't think it has anything to do with contractions or birthing.

she only did the mouth thing 3 times that i saw. she is still doing the bowing thing. it has be 3 weeks since she eat last tomorrow. i have seen a snake regurgitation before but this looks different. it still might be that i have just never seen this be for and hope she will be OK

Does it look like the movement(bowing) is directed toward the head or tail?

[luke.B]

tail

I certainly hope she is okay. Maybe she just has bigger babies this time Keep us posted.
