    Pre-Lay Shed?
    I’m new to breeding, my girl has successfully tied a few times. I checked on her today, and took some pictures to try and identify signs of ovulation. I just wanted to know what you guys think. I took a pic that shows some skin-streching. She always has been a pretty big girl, so I was wondering if maybe it would be a little harder to notice. She is getting ready to shed at the moment. I also noticed an indent line near her belly. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks

    Unless someone with experience gets to see you animal in person, you can't tell from a picture.

    Where is you female located when at rest. What breeding behaviour have you witnessed?

    She spends most of her time on the cool side.

    Than she is not gravid but building up and cooling herself off due to follicular development.

    Once she ovulates she will move to the hot spot.
