Re: gravid californian

That's a whole lot to feed one snake. I don't know how big the fish are, but she would probably be more healthy if you cut the portion size in half. She wouldn't be eating nearly that much if her girth were due to babies. Their stomach and organs become so compressed by the growing young that they significantly reduce how much they eat and normally stop eating altogether before giving birth.
