I've tried to research this, but to no avail.
Do gravid and post gravid snakes need extra calcium?
If so what form?
Can I just dip their food into the same calcium powder (the one i use on Chameleons)? Of course in a seperate container so as not to contaminate the tub.
Your experienced opinions will be greatfully received.

Deffo doesn't do any harm, and will help with healthy egg production. |

Not really but it helps with the eggs and may also prevent her from being egg bound as egg bound snakes normally need calcium shots. |

I don't think it is needed, but to produce the eggs takes alot of calcium out of the mother therefore weakening them so a little bit of extra calcium won't go a miss.
I know there are some people on her that dust their mice in calcium powder |
