I think Nerissa is building follicles right now, but not 100% sure, as it's been a weird year for her. Back story: I started pairing her (with my pastel mostly) way back in December, and continued for a few months... then in early April she had a VERY obvious glow, but never ovulated after that. I stopped pairing her from probably April-June, due to concern over a 9-month fast with significant weight loss. She started eating again in June, so I put Toby with her once about 3 weeks ago, and observed a nearly 48-hour copulation. He's such a stud, LOL.

So now it's late July, Mona's clutch is already cooking in the incubator, and I think Nerissa finally decided to join the party. When I checked on her yesterday, she was laying slightly inverted and coiled over the hot spot... today she's less inverted but extremely lumpy. If she is building, approx when should I expect an ovulation - and will she glow again, even though she did that already? Below are some photos, and I'd really appreciate your opinions!

P.S. Her last shed was on 6/12, and she copulated with Toby on July 4th... Independence Day babies, perhaps?





Here's the glow from early April... she almost looked like an Axanthic!
