    Follicle Development
    See this is the part where I wish I had one of those fancy shmancy ultrasound machines to watch the follicle development of my females. On December 31st, I felt follicles in my normal female. They were about the size of marbles and there were 3 of them. Today I palpate her again and find not only 5 follicles instead of 3 but they are double (if not more) the size they were 2 weeks ago. Hoping this is a good sign. She is mostly staying on the cool side, and is bowl wrapping at least once a week. She has locked many times and is glowing like crazy!

    Now my pinstripe is a little more behind. I palpated her and before I couldn't feel anything but the other day I tried again and felt several very very very small bumps (smaller than a marble) and they were all very very close to each other. I felt them pass through my hand so fast (Juji doesn't like you to mess with her too much) I couldn't count them but I think they might be follicles.

    On average, how long does it take for follicles to develop into eggs from the time they are marble size?

    For the normal female, it sounds like she is approaching the final stages of building.
    Here is a great page that shows the stages (definitely worth favoriting IMHO.) http://ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html
