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?

Good question! I would like the answer to this too!

Re: Follicle Development
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
