    Question Is she ovulating?

    Shes been paired with my pastel a lot! But just now she's been showing signs. I found her in her water bowl yesterday but I didn't get a picture. But heres some of her size. And that is a little bit smaller than the average house phone.

    How heavy is she? Looks pretty small if that's a 32qt tub.

    You can tell she is ovulating when you open their enclosure and it looks like they swallowed a small football. There is a very obvious localized swelling at doesn't last very long, but it very noticeable. Once you see it, there is NO mistaking it.

    I would have to say that it doesn't look like an ovulation to me.

    Here is a pic of an ovulation... http://www.ball-pythons.net/gallery/.../ovulation.jpg

    Re: Is she ovulating?

    what if you feed your snake rats the size of footballs? because i feed my snake once every 2 weeks and they always look like they have just swallowed a footbal. should i downsize the meals? just in the breeding season?

    Re: Is she ovulating?

    most of my females tend to slow down on eating and yes i would not feed her to large of a meal even my 3000+ girls i feed only medium rats i just offer them more than one i had one girl eat 4 med rats. i dont force food on them when they finish one completely i offer them another.
