My male is about 875g where as my female who is an Arkreptile rescue was 1695g on the 9th of january have just weighed and photographed her and she is 1877g and she has only had 1 small rat in that time period?? Anyone think that she is ovulating??? Never bred royals before so your advice is appreciated!

Thanks for looking

Nice looking couple you got there!

very pretty! the girl has real nice colors

unless you took that shot of your girl after she recently ate, it does seem as though she could be ovulating, as she looks "swollen" around the middle. Have they locked up lately? they look like a great pair.And kudos for recuing that female. My best breeder female was a rescue, and when i first got her, she weighed 1600g.....now three years later she maxes out my gram scale as it only goes up to five pounds!!! She has turned out some beautiful babies as well. I'm glad your rescue snake has a happy ending, and many good luck wishes with breeding them. :)

they have been locked up over he last few months several times, she ate on the 12th of jan on a rat crawler, she usually has medium rats! food item was 100g she has put on 180+g in the last month!

well she has, I think, started her shed cycle today, her eyes are not blue but her body has taken on a dull colour not unlike the early shed stage colour. Well I will take a pic when she's in shed over the next few days!
