    does she look ready to lay
    This is my butter I bought her on 4/4 at a reptile show. I was told she was gravid and she felt like she was. I'm new to breeding but i did feel somthing she had a perfect shed on 4/13. I did have to treat her for a very mild case of RI thats she had when got her. She is always in a perfect coil but always on cool side temps are 82 to 85 on cool side and 92 on the hot side. I have and Incubator all set up and running with a tub in it. here a couple of pics of her i took tonight. The pairing was a butter to butter.

    Typically, females that are close to laying will be on the hot side all the time. She could be building and what you felt were developing follicles. When you say she felt like she was, did you palpate, if so, what did you feel?

    Yes i did palpate and felt like 8 eggs she laid 9 the year before i was told. I still feel what mightg be eggs but they seam softer. This why i was confused cause she doing everthing else i read that balls do before laying exceprt seek the hot side.

    The second picture looks like she is close to ovulating. She's pretty thick in the lower third of her body. If she had already ovulated she would be hugging the warm side. Keep watching her and I think you'll see an Ovy soon. Good luck.
