Milksnakes - "female" problems
Do milksnakes have false "pregnancy" where they'll lay unfertilized eggs? I've had mine (3 1/2 - 4 ft) since oct 09 and she's acting weird, digging throughout her enclosure (2-3" lightly damp, fluffy coco fiber with 1 proper sized hide) and looks very heavy in her hind end (to me). She also hasnt shed, ate or defercated in the last 3 weeks. 30 X 12 tank, screen lid with a heatpad under 1/2 tank I had the hide on the warm side of tank and she avoided it, coiling up on the cool side and wandering about frequently. I moved the hide to the cool side and she's coiled up in it and has ceased digging so much. Any ideas?
