    Follicles or something else???? Help please

    I'm new to breeding ball pythons (first attempt) my female ball python stopped eating about 3-4 weeks ago and she has been on the cool side of tub sence she stopped eating....???...... I tryed palpating her (never done this before but wached a ton of you tube videos on how to do it) so I did it and I feel five small marble sized bumps in her about 3/4 the way down her body???? They have been the same size for three weeks so im just wondering what they are follicles or something else???? Like I said im new to breeding but IV kept ball pythons for 6 years now and the temps and everything are all good so can someone please help??? Sorry this was so long and im rambling on now so thanks to everyone in advance........

    could be. have you tired pairing? doesn't matter if it's follicles or not if you do not pair.
    there's nothing to loose if they don't turn out to be follicles

    300g has been DONE but its very unlikely anything will happen! As he wont be mature enough, aswell makesure not to leave him in there too long or too many times because it could over work him! If you have any friends you trust with Male breeder BP's ask to barrow them and share clutch if they want anything in return or wait till hes up to size
