Gravid female..can you feel eggs?

My pied female in my opinion ovulated..she went on to shed, she is swollen & lies inverted belly up quite often..I am assuming she is gravid, she has a large bump but I dont feel anything, might be me..do you actually feel eggs at this stage?..she is quite reluctant to move her lower bodyhttps://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...002_648887.jpg

Here is a recent pic

Follicles (pre-ovulation) you can feel.
Eggs (post-ovulation) you cannot feel.

Once they ovulate the follicles turn into soft eggs that you cant feel

idk but that is an AMAZING pied hahai wish i had a pied =\

Save up for one. I do this weekly out of each paycheck to buy the next thing that pops up at me.

Sure you can! But closer to the lay date. I almost never feel them immediately after ovulation, but 2 weeks and closer to lay date - you absolutely can feel them (and count them).

I always get my most accurate count of eggs AFTER ovulation.

You can also seem them move in the snake - if you hold her up with her tail towards the ground, then gently shift her so her head it toward the ground, you can see them move in either direction.

I have just had to move her to clean..she feels quite soft but swollen, its only 8 days after her shed but panicked as I thought she would have hard egg shaped lumps..:confused:

No - they won't be hard - they will be soft - almost like feeling distinct marshmallows - but you probably won't feel them this close after ovulation.
