I bought 2 females 2 weeks ago (candy cane & Carolina) but they had been kept in a huge viv with 2 males and another female. What's the chances of them being gravid? The candy cane in the last 4 days has become quite aggressive. Any idea please?

They could certainly both be gravid, or they might not be.

Tell tale signs will be a thickening towards the lower end of the snake, going off of food, being grumpy and spending a lot of time in the hides.

In the later stagesof being gravid, you can usually feel the eggs if you let them slither through your fingers. Just gently press your finger to her side / bottom as she slithers through and you should be able to feel the lumps.

As for the aggressiveness though, that could also just be a reaction to the new environment. I'd just keep an eye on them :)

They are both 4 years old. They both ate the first weekend I got them so nit due to feed them again until Thursday as I feed all my snakes every 7-10 days.
