    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

IM GUESSING PREGO

If she's a het albino that was bred to an albino, bump up your hot spot by about 10 degrees. Although, judging by the pic, she might be too far along for the added heat to help...but I don't think it would hurt. Good luck with her!

I have been in this temperature situation before with a gravid female. I bumped the temp 1 degree every day untill it reached 92. You know if she is staying on the hot side all the time that is good. But 97 is a little high to change the temp too.
 
When my het was gravid by my albino I kept her hot spot on 92.8 and she went in and out of basking every other hour like clock work.
Just my exp not saying its the only route to go

92-93 is what my gravid females are kept at. I have tried the 97 thing, they stayed on the cool side which I didn't like. I like to see em go back and forth like you stated Josh, or at least spend the majority of there time on that spot.

I had this one female, she stayed on her cool side all the time. I had her hot spot (under belly heat) set at 95. She was my first female to produce for me. I adjusted her temp down 1 degree over the course of a week, once it hit 92, she stayed there 75% of the time. She would move back and forth, but she liked that warmer side. I had lowered it to the point of 90 degrees on hot side, at that point, she never moved from that spot. So that told me right there 92 was the temp to go by. Ever since, 92 has been my hot side temp with females.
 
Its harder for albino to retain heat. I have found out my albino females do better with belly heat then rather then radiant heat. Just me though and I prefer belly heat for them.

It may have been just a large ovulation. She is much skinnier now. Also, when females are about to drop they shrink pretty quick. This happens when the babies start absorbing all of the left over yolk I believe.
 
He didn't breed it he bought a gravid female. Although I do agree with you should be more prepared before buying a possibly gravid female.
 
yeah, but he has PM'ed me about breeding stuff, and wanted to buy a male to breed.... you shoul be very ready before even considering breeding....
 
she was nvr sold as poss gravid nvr knew she was with that male untill she started to swell n so on thats when i called the previous owner n he exsplained she was with that male
 
even still you were buying animals with intent to breed.... i feel like people who are new to breeding should buy babies.... raise them up.... then consider breeding..... keeper before breeder.... and while they are raising up, read as much info, take notes and figure out which way will fit best for you............ thats how i started...... and a whole lot of other people......
 
ive had snakes since i was 5 yrs old and im now pushing 30 ranged from ball pythons to a 15 ft burmease python ive had boas and jcp i even worked with a few venimous just new to the breeding boas is why im askin questions like everyone else u learn from exsperiance n asking questions
 
man, you were talking about doing breeder loans and stuff?

just because you owned and worked with stuff doesnt really mean you know what your doing... i have seen plenty of people own hots... but they dont own responsibly...just because you owned in worked with something doesnt mean it was properly kept and owned.......
