Hi, I'm attempting to breed ball pythons for the first time and would appreciate if you can lend your expert eyes to help me see if my girl is gravid. I tried palpating but I don't feel anything, although I've never done it before so I could be doing it wrong.
The girl weighs 1600+ grams.
Breedng Timeline:
Mid Oct 2015: First lock
Nov 2015: 2 locks
Dec 2015: 2 locks
15 Dec 2015: last lock (male no longer interested since then)
13 Jan 2015 (lying on her side)
17 Jan 2016: tail suck?
20 Jan 2016: Sheds skin (not sure when the shed cycle began)
Has she ovulated or is she just building? Is it too soon to be a post-ov shed? What do you think?
Many thanks in advance.
