As for calcium supplements I used SuperPreen with OsteoForm for years. Just make sure that you are providing vitamin D3 along with the calcium.
Oh yeah, you DO have a male to breed to her, don't you? That could be important.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will order some right now.
And yeah I do! I actually have 3 snakes
2019 Female - Amel het Anery which is in the OP
2020 Male - Fire het Anery
2020 Female - Strawberry Snow
So the plan is to breed the Amel and Fire to get some snows het diffused in 2022 (hopefully the odds would be in my favor and I'd get a female snow)
And then in 2023, breed the Fire and Snow to get more snows het diffused
Take a few years off breeding and, then when a baby from each pairing is old enough, breed those together to get Avalanches

You don't need to start feeding her heavily. She looks to be in good condition. Once she's actually gravid, she may benefit from smaller and more frequent meals since the eggs take up a good amount of space. After she lays, she will look quite thin and a bit flabby like a deflated balloon. At that point, you can feed her pretty generously to help her regain her weight.

Thank you! It's good to hear that I dont have to give her baths, in the two and a half years I had her, I've given her a bath ones (because she laid in her own poop) and she did NOT like it lol.
You think sizing down to small adult mice would suffice? I would already have some since thats what my other two are eating. Or should I even go down to hoppers?
