Need some advice again.

I think my female is getting very close to ovulation. She is very swollen and glowing, However the male that I have in with her is goin into shed and he is not interested in her at all. I'm not concerned with gynetics since all 3 of my adults are normals. Should I try to pair her with my other male?

Thought I would post some pics of her to get ya'lls opinion, building or ovulation.

Thanks for the inputs.

She is very good looking:gj:
Sorry I am not to the breeding point yet:tears:

Sure, put him in. If one isn't interested, odds are the other one will be:) Good Luck!

Doesn't look like an ovulation to me, unless she has cooked and went down. When she ovulates she will look like she ate a 10lbs rabbit!! This will last 24-36 hrs. Then the swell will subside. You will know when you see an OV!!! Keep pairing until you see an obvious OV. Once she is gravd the males will loose interest.

Seems like the males have lost interest in her completely and she is getting larger. Not like what I have seen ovulation looks like, just all around larger. I'll get some pics out of her again so you can compare with the other pics I posted. By the way, she is getting larger but hasn't eaten in 3 weeks now. Could she be gravid and I just missed her ovulation?

You will know an ovulation when you see one...but it is very possible to miss it to. So to answer your question, yes, she could be gravid and you missed the OV. Start looking for sheds, she will shed about 17 days after ovulation, then 30 days til eggs. So when she sheds again mark your calendar, that will give you a guide, IF she is gravid.

Thanks for the info. She just shed on the 6th. I am keeping calendars on all of my snakes. I find it's very helpful when tracking there eating habits and shed cycles. I have a binder with a tab for each of my snakes.
