Build or Ovulation ???

When Alyssa was spot cleaning today she snapped this pic of Anita, she has been building, but today she looks huge .....

Since this is our our first time around I was wondering is this still just building, or is she ovulating?

I'm new at this as well, so don't take my word for it, but I think that she's ovulating! Good luck!!

Well she looks like my girls in this thread so either way it looks good :cool: . http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=41768

Neil,
In my experience, one other thing that I do, is feel the area that is bulging. Most of the time when my females are building, they look kind of big, but the lumpy area is still a little squishy. When they are ovulating, that area is very firm. The only other sure way to tell, is wait about 10 days, and start looking for that shed cycle. I'd say it looks promising. Congrats.
