Gravid?

I know all of us newer breeders are always on here asking the same questions, but I just would like some more experienced opinions. Would y'all say this girl is gravid? She's had 5 successful locks from November 15th to just last week and shes looking huge to me but I want to be 100% certain, thanks! Added in a pic from December 9th when I'm pretty sure she was ovulating for comparison, thanks!

Well I've bred snakes but never BPs, & it helps that you've seen the "before & after" so you're in the best position to judge. But which photo is which? There's no dates.

Sorry, the pic of them locking is dec 9th, the other pic is from yesterday. I think I'm thrown off bc she continued eating up until a week and a half ago

I was "afraid" of that...really hard for me (us) to tell much from top photo.

Yeah I'm kicking myself for not getting more pics of her when I first got her, she was around 2700 grams at the beginning of December and when I weighed her two weeks ago she was 3300, so I've got my fingers crossed, thanks!

You're probably right, but the wait is torture! ;)

It's hard to tell much of anything from that picture but I don't think I've seen a post ov female that tightly coiled. What are your temps at right now, and is she cool seeking still or back to heat seeking? As a general rule my girls are cool seeking and eating until ov, and then they go off feed and are back over the heat tape till laying. Seems pretty early in the year for ov too, but some girls just go early so it's possible.

Temps during the day are from 80 on the cool side, to 85, with a basking spot around 90, night time is 73. I'm thinking her shed at new years was a pre-ovy shed and this was her ovulation because I checked tonight and now she has a tail suck(?), along her lower 1/3, I didn't bother her enough to get a pic but that's what that means, right?

Yeah, if you are seeing tail suck (the very tip of the tail looks like its being sucked in because her lower third is swollen so big) it sounds like she is ovulating.

If she's got tail suck then I'd say she's ovulating
Here is one of my girls doing the tail suck during ovulation, you can see she's swollen in the lower 3rd of the body toohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0f2da120da.jpg
