pregnant bp?

[bobbyb]

Hello everyone well i have a normal female that i bred to a spider and got my first lock on nov 16th than i put in my pastel in on the 24th but saw no locks so put my spider in instead than the 25th my spider locked again with her than on nov 30th i tried my pastel again and dec 1st pastel locked with her than again i tried my pastel and he locked again dec 5 and dec 5th was my last lock because my males wouldnt eat and started to get thin so i stoped breeding.Well lately ive seen my female acting weird,jan 7th she was bowl wrapping




and now today she looks like shes in shed and has like bumps near the end of her tail










Could she be pregnant?.or was there not enough locks?

it only takes one lock to impregnate a female. Hard to tell from the pictures unless she is ovulating but it doesn't appear that she is. Only way to tell is by ultrasound or palpating.

I've got 3 females who have never been bred wrapping their bowls right now. Do you know anyone who would know how to palpate her?

She looks nice n thick so it is possible. But unless you've seen her ovulate or u ultrasound u can't know for sure. Keep pairing and see if they lock.

She doesn't look gravid to me but she is probably building follicles.
Continue to pair them until she glows and and up until she ovulates.

I got locks last season with females the week before they ovulated.

Well it looks like shes about to go into shed so should i still keep breeding her or wait till she sheds.And she is acting alot different than usual and shes never had those lumps/bumps near the tail it looks like 6 lumps.

Not gravid. Pics shows her still exhibiting building signs of wrapping/ coolin off.

Keep pairing her as shes got ways to go. Females will glow and go off feed 1-2 months before ovulation

Keep pairing, then keep pairing, and after that, keep pairing, until you see and ovulation or she refuses the male altogether. People keep pairing until they are satisified they are gravid or until they they know they arent going to take. Ive been pairing since sept and will continue to pair till may since they are all still eating. I have only 1 female that just shed and now refuses to eat, pretty sure she'll be ovulating soon. Is your female still eating? Glowing? If you didnt see an ovy shes probably still building especially if shes still bowl wrapping and soaking. Good luck to ya.

just noticed the tape in the tub with the snake usually not a good idea is it holding down a probe think glue might be safer for the snake that is what i use just an idea i hear tape is a pain to get off snakes they can loose scales
