I was asked if my larger female had follicles. She hasn't eaten since I got her in March and I was told follicular development can cause a snake to be uninterested in food. (She shows absolutely no interest in food whatsoever) The guy I got her from said he felt follicles before he sold her to me in March but she was never bred.

So how do I know if she has follicles? I have no idea how to palpate her. I attempted to mimic the palpating videos I've seen around but I don't even know what I'm feeling for. Is there any chance she even has follicles? Temps and humidity are good. 91-92 as the warm side, 85ish as the ambient. (sometimes it goes a bit lower at night because we forget to turn the ac off or we turn it on on hot nights) The female is 1600ish grams. I had the exact weight earlier but I can't find it.

So any thoughts or suggestions on either determining if she has follicles or how to get her to eat. And if she does have follicles, we have a male that is 425g. Is this too small?
