I know, I know...not another ovulation question!

But...

I have never bred ball pythons before, and then about a month and a half ago after I weighed my female I thought -- why not? She is big enough now!

So, she has locked with my spider three times since March 1. It would have been four times, but when I put them toghether last weekend there was no interest between the two.

A couple of days ago she looked huge, and had the sucked in tail. I thought it might be an ovulation, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. Now today I checked on her, and unless it is my imagination, she looks smaller. And now she has a pink belly, so I know she is going into shed.

Could it be in fact that this is a post-ovulation shed? It seems like this all went very fast. Only a month and a half ago I started cooling them down, and she had only been paired with a male a little over a month ago.

Thoughts?

(And yes -- I do have an incuabator all ready!!!)
