Opinion Please

We saw this female lock up a few times ..... has now been off food a while .... think we missed ovulation ( if she did ) ....but she been laying this way and on her back for a good few days now .

Wondering if she's building ? she has been in the moss box five days now ...more or less on sides or her back . what ya'll think ?

It looks very promising. I cannot say if she has ovulated yet, but a good shot of her laying on her belly, with her spine pointing up would be better at trying to make that determination. It is very rare that you cannot see a gravid female from her look. Her spine will be very pointy, and she will be very swollen on the lower half of her body where she is carrying the eggs. Once you see this once, you won't forget the look.

I hope that helps some.

You cannot miss it when she has the pointed v shape from the spine being visible while gravid. Very obvious.
