The best way to confirm pregnancy in snakes would be to take them to your local pet store.
Most pet stores that specialize in snakes will do a quick scan that will confirm the pregnancy.
But how would you know to take your snake to the vet for a pregnancy check in the first place?
I’ll give you a hint. It’s not just a fatter snake.
Here is a list of indicators that suggest your snake might be pregnant (or gravid). After that, we will dive into everything else you need to know about getting your snake pregnant and ensuring she gives birth to healthy offspring.
If you see the above changes in your snake this could mean that it is carrying a pregnancy.
How long snakes are pregnant for is a common question among novice snake owners. This is because it is after the pregnancy that it will be determined whether their snake set-up was successful after all.
All snakes are different and can all have different gravid/pregnant periods.
Getting certain snakes to mate and have healthy young in captivity isn’t all plain sailing. There are techniques to follow so that you can see your snakes courting, mating, being pregnant and producing healthy young.
After all, when selectively breeding your snake, you’re wanting those certain characteristics to show up in the babies. You may even have chosen a certain snake breed so that you can make money from the sale of the babies.
With a Ball Python for instance, if you want certain patterns, this is what is known as selective breeding. If you’re not interested in patterns and colors, then you don’t need to worry about genetics and proper breeding partners.
With a snake pregnancy, do snakes lay eggs or do they give birth to live young?
Some snakes give birth to live young, just like mammals do. Most vipers and all rattlesnakes, boa constrictors and anacondas give birth to live young.
The baby snakes develop inside the female and are covered with a thin membrane when born. The baby snake wriggles free and is off, knowing full well that it won’t be getting any kind of assistance from its indifferent mom.
Most snake species, around 70% of them, reproduce by laying eggs. The babies grow inside the eggs until they are ready to emerge.
Whether eggs or live snakes, they emerge from the mother’s cloaca. Snakes do not give birth through the mouth , which is a misconception some hold, for whatever reason.
In the wild, snakes know exactly when to mate according to hot and cold temperatures, but in captivity, there are no seasons. In captivity, you will be in control of the snake’s mating habits.
You can decide on temperature and you can also decide on what snake your snake is going to mate with. In your snake enclosure, you will need to create an environment much like the snake would experience in the wild.
Use a snake rack or a dedicated incubator for reptiles. This makes it easy to monitor and control the environment.
A snake is a reptile and a reptile’s reproduction depends on temperature. And for good reason: the eggs.
If you want to see your female snake pregnant, you must ensure the right temperature within the cage, to ensure her comfort for breeding and for proper development of the eggs.
It’s not easy controlling temperatures. The ideal temperatures vary between the different snake species too. Corn snakes, for instance, will want temperatures between 80° and 90° Fahrenheit.
An incubator can help ensure the correct temperature and other conditions needed to maximize the chance of successful hatching. The best snake incubator is one that was meant for reptiles, not one meant for poultry.
Controlling temperature is critical if you want eggs to survive until hatching time. The wrong temperatures could mean birth defects.
Proper levels of humidity are also important and they vary depending on the type of snake, too. You want to make sure you have the proper humidity level in the snake enclosure.
Once the right temperature and humidity is set up properly and the pregnancy is confirmed, a nice nesting box will keep her content. Once you see the eggs and perfect young, you’ll realize what an awesome learning experience the breeding of snakes can be.
You will know that you have successfully provided your pet snake with the right habitat that allowed it to mate and produce successfully ‘under your watch’. You may even feel spurred on to breed other colubrids later on.
Once the snake comes out of hibernation, it has mating on its mind. Mating can take place after spring and continue throughout the summer – it all depends on the species.
Some males fight for the right to mate with the females and some snakes mate several times during the year. Snakes don’t form mating bonds, and once copulation takes place, males and females part company without a second glance.
The very habits of female snakes will give something away as to how these snakes get pregnant. Previously scientists believed that female snakes were pretty submissive during courtship and mating. They’ve since changed their minds and have discovered that the females actually have an active, prominent role.
The female snakes are imposing and not to be messed with. They are able to overpower the males, many times being larger than them and with some female snakes species devouring the male.
With anacondas, mating is usually in the spring. Females emit airborne chemicals to alert the males that they are ready for mating. The males pick up the scent by flicking their forked tongue and then follow the trail to reach the females in heat.
Mating of Anacondas often takes place in rivers. A single female Anaconda attracts multiple males and these coil around her. A sexual orgy or mating ball like this can last for a few weeks.
Once mating has been wrapped up, the female carries the embryos inside her body and they remain attached to a yolk sac. A gestation period of 6 months follows. She’ll bask quite a bit in the sun to help the embryonic growth process. The pregnant Anaconda doesn’t feed during this time.
Anaconda snakes are known to be ovoviviparous – the eggs will hatch inside the body of the female Anaconda. After the 6 months is up, the eggs hatch with the babies wrapped in a membrane.
At the birth time, the babies emerge out of the cloacal region. The newborns are called neonates.
If you’re a first-time snake owner and you want to keep a snake and learn something about the behavior of snakes, the Corn Snake is one of the easiest and most docile snakes to breed in captivity. It’s a snake where you stand a good chance of witnessing a pregnant snake giving birth.
It is one of the most bred snakes of all. Anyone with sexually mature male and female corn snakes should be fairly successful with breeding and producing a clutch of corn snake eggs.
These snakes are usually ready to breed from the age of 18 months to 2 years. Once you’ve got a suitable pair here is how you prepare them for breeding.
The lives of corn snakes are dictated by the seasons. This timing is important for animals, as the young are born at times when their survival rates stand a better chance.
After a cooling period for the snakes, they are warmed back to their optimum temperature. They start eating huge meals in preparation for breeding. The snakes are then introduced to one another, by putting one corn snake into the cage of the other.
It can be that corn snake breeding will happen immediately. Leave the snakes together for at least a week to allow chances for mating. With a corn snake pregnancy, there are some things you can do to make it more pleasant for your snake.
And one of these is to simply give your pet a bit of privacy.
Snakes are shy by nature, and to have people constantly crowding around to watch their every move can be stressful. After the mating period, the male snake should be removed and the female should then be provided with a nesting box .
This is where she can lay her eggs. Some of these nesting boxes are awesome as they double as a terrarium and a pet carrier at the same time.
Ball pythons are another popular pet snake. They are an amicable breed with some fascinating patterns. Let’s take a look at the build-up to the snake pregnancy period and some other ins and outs of breeding ball pythons.
The breeding season for Ball Pythons in captivity is between November and March.
Make sure you have mature male and female snakes. It can take anything from 18 months to 3 years for these snakes to be ready to breed.
Males are ready before females. You’d be safe to settle for your female being 3 years of age. Weight can also be indicative of maturity and she will usually have reached a breeding weight when she is between 3.5 and 4.5 pounds.
As mentioned, breeding requires precise temperature gauging as well as proper stimulation of the male and female snakes.
To get your male Ball Python into the mood for mating, a good trick is to put him in a cage full of other Ball Pythons. When he raises himself into a vertical position he is ready for the female.
You’ll notice that your Ball pythons stay intertwined for a couple of days. You can do some research and find out how to place other females into the cage and how not to allow the male to mate with too many females and exhaust himself.
People who have successfully bred Ball Pythons will tell you that they start to lower the snake enclosure temperatures at night in October. The hot spot goes down to 82° F and the cool end is 78° F.
The lighting is then also adjusted to make the days shorter – 10 hours of light made possible with natural sunlight spectrum bulbs .
With the breeding period being from November to March, you will notice that by January the female snake will have started developing egg follicles. It is important to keep watch for this, so you know when to introduce the male to the females.
You will also need to find out how to separate the male from the females for rest and refreshment. They need their stamina for the breeding season. If the male just seems too ‘used up’, it is best to remove him from the breeding females so that he can recuperate away from the female snakes.
By the end of January, ovulation begins in the females. When you see the female ovulating, it means she is pregnant.
The time from follicular development until ovulation can be anything from a few weeks to 6 months. The female will shed her skin a few weeks after ovulation.
Ovulation happens where sperm from the male and follicles from the female come together and the eggs are fertilized. How long is a ball python pregnant? For about 53 to 55 days in total.
After shedding she will lay her clutch in about 30 to 40 days. The female python usually coils around the eggs. The pregnancy is over after the 55 days when the eggs hatch and break out of the egg shells.
When these young snakes break out of the eggshells they are independent immediately, and they can do pretty much anything that adult snakes can do.
As a snake owner, you may be wondering what the sex of your snake is in the first place. You may be wondering why your snake isn’t becoming pregnant.
It could be that both snakes are male or both are female. Looking at a snake you could be wondering “how can a snake get pregnant when they both appear so similar?”
Male and female reptiles have internal sexual organs which can be somewhat difficult to detect. The male reptile’s testicles are within its body and have what is known as two hemipenes.
These are detected externally with bulges behind the cloaca near the animal’s tail. Males and females can also be differentiated by secondary sexual characteristics such as size and coloring.
Snake owners who don’t know the sex of their snakes do what is known as ‘cloaca probing’. This is where a probe is passed into the snake’s cloaca. The probe can slide further into the base of the tail in a male than a female.
There are some reptiles that display the most elaborate of courtships before mating takes place.
There are certain snake species, such as the red-sided garter snake, that gather in massive groups to have a mating ball. The snakes release pheromones to attract the opposite sex.
With reptiles, egg fertilization occurs internally with the male placing sperm inside eggs which are inside the female’s body. The male inserts his hemipenis into the female cloaca.
This cloaca also excretes fluid and feces and is an opening in the posterior for digestive, reproductive and urinary tracts. When male snakes aren’t mating, the hemipenis is inverted and rests in the cloaca.
Reptiles are also a little different from mammals when it comes to maintaining a constant internal body temperature. A snake, for instance, doesn’t have fur for insulation, so it can’t stay warm on a cold day.
They move into the sun or shade to regulate their temperature, and when it becomes too cool for them they actually become inactive. It is this slow metabolism of theirs, and their need for heat, that makes them cold-blooded creatures.
Cold-blooded animals control their body temperatures through what is known as thermoregulation. Reptiles, like snakes, move to different areas of their environment (or their cage, if in captivity) to warm up or cool down. Other thermoregulatory mechanisms include burrowing.
Cold-blooded reptiles don’t have the ability to give affection or love. People may like to imagine that their snakes have feelings for their mates, but they don’t.
They are simply wild creatures that pair instinctively for a purpose, and could not care less whether their mating results in a pregnancy.
The courtship rituals and reproduction habits of snakes are totally different from mammals. It’s not as cut and dry as it is with mammals because snake sperm, with some species at least, can remain intact for quite a few years.
This means that the female is able to produce additional offspring without any further male contact. In fact, there is a process known as parthenogenesis, in which the female reproduces asexually.
These female snakes also have control over whether they actually become pregnant after mating. Sometimes the conditions during mating just aren’t good for ovulation and gestation.
Females can store sperm for up to 5 years or so. They’ve got these pockets in the reproductive tract where they store it.
This means that if the female snake has mated with many males, her clutch of young could well be a mixture of offspring from a host of different fathers.
To add more to the amazement of mating and ovulation, the female snake can also control which fathers’ sperm she uses to fertilize her eggs. It is this ability for delayed fertilization that is the reason sperm competition is more intense in reptiles.
Female snakes can mate with many males and then choose among the sperm each time they reproduce. Unknown to some of the male snakes, their sperm might never produce offspring, if she considers it inferior.
It is actually beneficial for a female snake to mate with as many males as she can. It gives her a bigger sperm variety. Snakes with more mates have a better chance of offspring survival.
So how do you tell if your snake is pregnant? Experienced snake owners might recognize these signs of ovulation in females.
Once the young snakes break out their eggshells they’re pushed out into the world totally independent. Once they grow up, males and females start the life cycle all over again.
Courtship, mating and pregnancy, all so that new snakes can keep being born. And each of those snakes form a key link in the food chain and help maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Whether a female snake is pregnant or just digesting her most recent meal is definitely something I would want to know. I have only been up close and personal with snakes a handful of times in my life, and there is a lot I want to know about snakes. 
So, how can you tell if your snake is pregnant? The easiest way to confirm that your snake is pregnant is to visit your local veterinarian and have them do an x-ray or ultrasounds, but there are a few other telling signs. Most female snakes will become thicker in the area from their midpoint to their vent.
In snakes such as pythons, their coloring might change due to their reproduction cycle.

However, this is not a singular indicator because their color could change during other stages of the cycle and not just pregnancy. Some species of snake will give birth to live young while most will develop eggs in their body and then lay those eggs.
There are many ways to tell when your precious snake is expecting. A change in temperament is a rather physical sign that owners are often sad to see. However, once your snake has had her clutch (and in some cases waited for them to hatch) she will most likely go back to her normal temperament.
Even the snakes with the most docile natures may become instinctively defensive as she develops her young and guards her eggs.
Another sign that your female snake might be expecting babies is her sudden lack of appetite. Female snakes tend to avoid eating while they are pregnant. Some species, like the Ball Python , wrap around their eggs to keep them warm. During this time, she will refuse food in favor of keeping her clutch safe.
Some females will eat only smaller portions of food, so try to offer your female some food but don’t force her to eat. Your female snake may also lose some weight during pregnancy due to her lack of appetite. A good way to combat this is by making sure she is properly fed before breeding begins.
Some female snakes will expose their underbelly when they are basking in warm light. This can be a sign that your female snake is developing a clutch.
During this developmental time, your female may repeatedly move
