Might be a tendency, but it's not a rule.

Agreed. I've had female give birth shortly after shedding and some that shed long after giving birth.

Here few more questions:
-Did you think i´m correct when i think she is pregnant?
-She still living with her 2 colleagues, when is the best time to isolated her?


Thanks again for all your answers!

I'm thinkingT. p. proximus (Western ribbon snake). If so, she does look thick for a ribbon snake. Colleagues? I hope they are the same species, if she does turn out to be gravid. Hybrids would not be a good thing.
Can you post a photo of the other cage mates?

[kiro84]

Of course!

The seller told me were T.Sauritus, but i´m with you i think
they are T. proximus.

Not really sure about the sex of the 3, but seller told me they bred the last year, so 1.1.1 at the moment.

I´m from spain, here it is difficult find more subspecies of this snake

[guidofatherof5]

The seller maybe correct as I am not an expert on ribbons. Might be T. s. sauritus (Eastern ribbon snake)
