Hi there Crazyreptilelady! Welcome! Sorry I missed this when you posted it, but I've been busier than a bishop at Boystown! LOL!
:welcome:
Strange that your snake is gravid during this part of the year, being that they normally get that way during the Spring in the western hemisphere (don't really know how that plays out in your part of the globe, but certain someone around here does and will hopefully chime in!).
However, since it IS what it IS, all you can do is provide what is necessary and Mother Nature will (hopefully) do the rest. Sometimes, even under ideal conditions, a snake will do what they're gonna do no matter what! Like lay eggs in the water dish (which is why you shouldn't leave an over-sized one in the viv right now) or anywhere else except where she SHOULD. However, that being said, as long as you provide an appropriate laybox for her, that's all you can do. Just observe her from a safe distance. My female snake drove me NUTS when she was gravid but I learned a valuable lesson in that MY anxiety was probably making everything worse. After all, they do know what to do. All we can do is provide what they need.
Were you looking to breed? Are a clutch of hatchlings something you want? Do you have a supplier for xs pinkies nearby? (If not, you might want to search ordering bulk online now, since you might have to research the HOW TO's of ordering such a thing in your locale. What's your backup plan should your sneaky one become eggbound (YIKES!) without a herp vet nearby? Just curious. Don't know if I'd wanna take that chance, but since it's already done, you may as well THINK about it, no?
In any case, please keep us updated!! Good Luck!!!!!
