Question
i have a 19 month old female royal python. I recently introduced a male python same age into the tank with her. They have been inseparable for the last 5 months. The male follows her around the tank and wont leave her alone. However she does not seem to be pregnant. How do i know if my female is pregnant?. Thankyou.

Answer
Once the eggs have formed, most of the time you will see the shape of the eggs forming in the last 2/3's of her body. I really haven't looked into breeding ball's so I am not entirely sure what to look for. Google ball python breeding sites and see if you can find an email for a breeder that can help you find out.
