Re: how do i check.....
Follical size will more accurately help you figure out if she is close to ovulating. You can check by letting the snake move through your hands. I usually try and position my thumbs together along the belly and gentle squeeze. It's easier when the follicles are large because it's almost like counting golf balls in a sock. I'm not sure if that's any help, and hopefully someone more articulate can describe the process.
In either case I just keep putting the pair together until the female refuses him.
