Should the lumping still be noticable when the female is stretched out and moving around? One of my girls looks somewhat lumpy when she's coiled up, but once she's moving around you can't see them anymore. It's only recently that she's appeared this way, so something is different with her. She's still feeding and hanging out on the warm side, so I'm doubtful that she's building, plus I'm not experienced in feeling for follicles anyhow. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask about it, though.

I did put a male in with her today just to see what would happen. She started moving around the tub flicking her tail, and at one point you could see some pink flesh bulging from her vent (scenting I guess??). After that they settled down together. No confirmed locks yet, the way they are sitting he's blocking my view and I don't want to disturb them.
