    Gravid Penny should i be concerned?

    so Penny is gravid. couldnt tell you how long. its ben some months since she has been with a male. i would have bet money id be getting babies by last night. she seems not herself (which is normal) she has been off food for some time yet her tongue starts when i offer food for everyone. (which is normal) i had noticed some blood on the papertowel she was on. not sticky looked like it was with some fecal matter (just a tiny bit) but i got concerned. should i be worried? i can feel atleast 2 or 3 big babies at her cloaca. could they be stuck? is there something i can do without stressing her out? here are some pics from this weekend. gravid156.jpggravid154.jpggravid153.jpggravid152.jpggravid151.jpgshe looks so tired and uncomfortable. but the blood scared me.

    Sounds like she's preparing to deliver. It's good you're being so observant, sounds like she's in good hands. I'd say get ready for babies at this point.

    Sounds pretty normal. Just keep an eye out and make sure she's not getting lethargic (lack of tongue-flicking ect.) as that seems to be sign-number-one that a snake is going downhill. Otherwise, I imagine you'll have some nice babies soon

    Beautiful female btw.

    She looks to be impacted more than gravid. I hope I am wrong. I would try a warm water soak if she does not pop soon.
    Good luck with her!
