I think 3 weeks is a bit soon to be showing really positive visible signs of being Gravid.

However, in the last 2 pics you can definitely see signs of the belly being uneven and bumpy as well as slightly swollen.

Did you only have them together for that one time only?

o_o what an interesting thread to keep up with. I have no breeding experience what-so-ever, so I can't say much. hehe. But I agree, there are definitely bumps visible. As far as them being developed eggs by three weeks, anyones guess could be better than mine. ^^;;

Good luck finding out though! I'll be checking back here later to see if anyone else has anything to say.

Milly was not gravid! i forgot to update :P

i suspect she was ovulating. i still haven't witnessed any locks with her, but i have paired her with my male snow, who is VERY eager to get going, and she is having NONE of it. she's whipping her tail around, wagging her tail, jerking like crazy, but as far as actual hookups, none. i don't see any "evidence" in the tub, either. so i don't know why she isn't being receptive to his advances.

From those two last pictures, to me she looks like she is definetly carrying eggs. I bred my two female corns last year and that exactly how they looked when they were gravid and about to lay. Good luck!

lol, CornSnakeBreeder, you missed my last updated post about how she WASN'T gravid! weird, hey! i'm assuming it was an ovulation, because 2 or so weeks after this thread was started, she stopped feeling lumpy! and now, 3 months later, she feels lumpy again, even though she hasn't locked up with a male this year!
