Hello, I'm new on here and was wondering how long it normally takes before a corn snake show signs of being pregnant after mating. Thanks for replys.

I'm new to corn snake breeding and mated my female 2 and a half weeks ago

She will swell towards the vent, but nothing as dramatic as mammals. Here are a few things to know: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126082

Thanks for the reply, she only mated 2 and half weeks ago like I said, I know they locked together as I saw them, I surpose its a bit early to notice anything yet but I have got a nest box ready and have also set up an incubator,

You'll almost always have a pre-lay shed to signal you need to add a laying box. I introduce it when they turn blue. This is usually 30-35 days after conception. 60 days is my longest (to my surprise, everything was fine), no matter how long, once she blues don't offer food until after she lays.

So should I stop feeding her then ? I thought I was meant to feed her a bit more often but with smaller mice.

 

[Chip]

If she blue already? Then yes. I doubt she would be this soon.

 

[keeney]

No she isn't yet. But do you think there would be any signs now or is it to early ? And thanks for your replays .

 

[keeney]

Should I remove the nest box till nearer the time or just leave it in there for now ?

 

[Chip]

I add them when the snake blues before pre-lay shed.

Thank you.

I'm not sure now if she is pregnant ! It's been nearly 3 weeks now and not really any signs.
