go in to the ER and say this snake is highly posions and you if dont give her a ultasound i will let her bite you all Mouhahaha. IK im screwy
Can you post recent pictures of the female? Shots that show her full length where the bulge you speak of can clearly be seen would be nice. I have a few questions as well.
1) How long has it been since she was last with the male?
2) Did you witness any actual copulation or courtship behavior?
3) How old are both of the snakes?

Both snakes are 3 years old and are housed together all of the time. They are both about 2' and 3-5" long. I did not witness any copulation but I was out of town for two weeks recently and there is a possibilit of them locking up while I was not looking. I will try and get some pics soon but I don't want to mess with her too much if it turns out that she is gravid.
I got some pics but they are crappy. Should be good enough to get you what you need though:
Shots of the vent
Kinda hard to see here but its a nice fat belly.

I was kind of hoping for some shots of the entire snake laid out on a flat surface. Size and location of her bulge is very important as she may just have feces inside her. Shelgs don't really bred just because they are housed together, it take simulation of natural environmental cycles in order to trigger breeding behavior. If you were out of town for two weeks and not heavily misting them then I doubt she's gravid. Only time will tell though.
