help with breeding bp

When after they mate do you notice the female ovulate or swell up. how long after exactly and how long does it last because my 3 female mojaves have been being bread by my male mojave and i dont want them to lay before i get the incubator ready. I know they go through a pre lay shed, and 2 of my females are shedding now and im not sure if its a prelay or just a regular shed. how can i tell if they are pregnant, and please only people with experience answer this, i dont wanna mess up with this im trying to produce lucy's and i dont want to loose any eggs.... thank you very much

Post a few pics be alot easier to see if they look gravid that way ;)

And a few things to look for Water bowl wrapping and spending alot of time on the cool end if they are still just developing follicles and if they Have ovualted already or getting close to it 99% of the time they will sit on the hot end hugging the heat


and a real easy way to see if how far along they are is to just palpate them and see how big the follicles are

and Why wouldnt you have an incubator set up already ???

You were very specific in your post about who you wanted to reply, so I wont give any advice due to my lack of experience.
I will say that you are an idiot though!

thats nice immature people on this site, if you dont have anything nice to say please keep it to yourself. I do have a incubator ready, but i dont wanna start heating it up at least 2 weeks before i know they will lay I got the incubator idea from Justin of O.C.D. he is a cool guy..so i can get the temp just right.... ill get some pics and yes she is usually on the heated side and also around the water bowl, I put my male with her 3 times in the past 2 weeks and they really don't bother with each other much anymore, but before they were always together and locked up and i made sure they were. would a male still mate with the female if she is pregnant... how do you palpate them??
Thanks for the help!!!

That is uncalled for. He is just asking for help.

Well, since you neither care to read what us inexperienced people have to post, I don't know if this link will get lost on deaf ears. (or blind eyes?)
