Early shed? Oh I am so confused!

Ok, so some of you may have seen that I'm 99% sure that my female ovulated on the 3rd of this month.....now she's going into shed, she's almost totally blue (probably tomorrow or the next day).

I thought the pre-lay shed was almost a month later?! What could be going on here? Maybe it wasn't an ovulation? Although like I said I'm 99-100% sure. She swelled up for 2 days and now she's normal again - here is a pic of the ovulation.

So what is this shed she's in? SO CONFUSED! :weirdface

Any help is appreciated!

You're fine, they usually go into shed 10 to 14 days after ovulation in my experience.

Ooh ok. Thank you so much Dave! You've been such a great help! The first time around breeding anything is so nerve-wracking, ya know! I mean I've bred guinea pigs, betta fish, horses, dogs, rats...once you do it once the next time is so much easier, but I have to say doing this has been the most frustrating (emotionally haha) because it's been such a long process. Everything else I've bred has been so predictable, this has been like "will she? wont she? now? yes? no?" haha

Anyway, you have no idea how much I appreciate everything!! Thank you!

Yeah, I think the general rule is two weeks, not a month. Too bad there seem to be so many naughty, rule-breaking snakes out there, haha. Good luck and keep us updated!

Cheers,
