What is going on with my female?

This is my first year breeding and one of my females who I have been pairing with my spider since Nov.1 has shed on Dec.3, Dec.24 and tonight her eyes are blue! Is this prelay shed or is this normal during breeding? I have been feeding her a medium rat weekly and she is about 2200 grams!

Did she ovulate?

first shed could been a regular maintenance shed from growth. Second was the pre ovulation shed. And the Third im guessing thats coming now is post ovulation shed.

Which means fire up the incubator just to be sure. Once she sheds you should get eggs in about 30-40 days

I never saw a ovy but she has been growing like crazy so I may have just thought it was her growing. I only witnessed one lock but I try to give them lots of alone time during breeding! I have the incubator ready just in case! I hope this is it! I will find out in a month! Her tail looks so small, is that tail suck?

Tail suck happens during ovy only. If shes on the warm side now 90% of the time and no longer on cool side wrapping the water bowl then its good sign she ovulated.

She is definately on the warm side coiled up all the time!

Sounds like you got a preggo girl! ;)

Great looking pair of snakes, good luck. :gj:
