Well, 'labour' is hard to measure in a snake... she won't tell you she's started... she might be in labour right now. How would you know?

[brigitte]

does that mean we wont hear her having labour pains

[Lulu Bennett]

She won't be asking for hot towels!

Brigitte, from my experience, it sounds like she is getting close, but as James said "it's hard to tell". My Eastern that just gave birth never quit feeding and did not start unusual behavior. The Puget that gave birth recently refused a meal and started roaming every where, which is more the norm, at least for the feeding part.

That eastern (Diana) that just had her litter never stopped eating, and one morning I woke up and there the babies were......

I maintained an artificial hollow log in her cage, inside it was coconut eco earth, kept slightly moistened.

The stillborn was in the log, so I assume she went in there to deliver.
