Male and Female Ball Python ran away together.
So my male bp escaped by opening the rack drawer he was in. This left a gap below for my female bp to also get out. They were missing for about 16-18 hours when I found them under the china cabinet together. Took me 2 hours to get them out. They now live in more secure housing away from each other.
I'm not sure how long ago that was, maybe a month? Well now my female wont eat. She did eat a pinkie rat as a snack a while ago, but refuses adult rats. She had also now refused pinkie snacks. She even defense strikes at her food.
She has not shed since "eloping" but she was in shed when they ran off. It's actually how I found them, I just followed the snake skin trail.
I was looking at her today an noticed she seems to be lumping. Should I be expecting eggs or is it just a false alarm?
I have supplies for eggs, just haven't bred any of them before. I've been working with a local breeder (who is out of town right now :/ ) to become more knowledgeable but I wasn't planing on even attempting to breed until next year.
Can I panic now?
