I started pairing up my ball pythons and retics a couple weeks ago and since it's the first of the month I pulled out the ultrasound and checked all my girls. The results were pretty surprising, my biggest girl at about 3500 grams only has one follicle! Some mid size snakes have a string of follicles, one girl had a double string, so many! My biggest follicle was 12.7 mm. I have one albino girl that I couldn't find any follicles at all, I actually had another two weeks ago but since I started pairing up she developed small ones. I also had two pairs that were copulating so I couldn't check them! I bought my ultrasound on e-bay, works fantastic. The neat thing about it is that it all folds up into a laptop case and can be easily stored. This image is about a blurry as it gets, not sure why its crystal clear in some snakes and others are a bit blurry, maybe it's due to body condition.
