    Are things looking good?

    So last week I possibly felt two follicles. It was my first time palpating with any sort of success and she wasn't cooperating, so all I felt was two. She is deep in blue and today I went to check on her and she was laying on the warm side, her lower half sort of inverted. The lower half of her body was laying on its side. Is this what is considered laying inverted? It was only part of her. I tried to get a picture but it was my camera phone, bad lighting and she moved a little. I could post it if it would help. I also took a picture after attempting to palpate her again to see if she's getting any thicker.

    Not completely all the way inverted like that, and it was only the last half of her body. The last half of her body seemed to be sitting on its side. I can post a picture after I get home from work, but I took the picture after she had started to right herself.

    Got them uploaded in time before heading out to work. This is Akina after I'd opened the tub, shut it to go get my camera and opened it again to snap the picture. She had moved quite a bit after all of that. The part of her body where you can see her belly was sitting completely on her side.



    This is after I attempted to palpate her again.

    Re: Are things looking good?

    She just seems very uncomfortable. I think she might be building then. Her eyes are not as cloudy as they were yesterday so she's coming out of blue. I read that site and it says she should be seeking the cooler side if she's developing follicles. She is staying on the warm side but I definitely felt 2 follicles the other day. Do females always seek the cooler side when they are developing?

    I have caught some of my males laying inverted like the first pic posted. It is comfortable or something. I don't rely on laying inverted for anything other than it is a snake.
