Hello again
My female corn, Aphrodite, who I believe is gravid shed about 11 days ago. I am unsure if it was her pre-lay shed as she was due to shed soon anyway.

She started to refuse her food about 18 days ago, which for her, is very unusual. I am pretty sure she IS gravid as I have been able to feel the eggs for a while now, and she has all the signs of a gravid snake. She has had a lay box in with her for a few days now too, and she goes in and out of it as she pleases.

Just wondering how far into her pregnancy (cant think of another word for it haha)she is, if you can tell.

Thanks

Thats the thing, she has only been seen once or so locked with him, they are usually more 'frisky' at night. It must have been a few months ago now they were seen locked,. She successfully had laid before (few years ago) and she wasn't seen locked at all. As she hasn't been seen locked recently, does this mean she will lay slugs?
