?s on ovulating

I think shes starting to ovulate but could be wrong. Shes been paired up lots and is still glowing. She also did eat a few days ago but shes quite fat halfway down, fatter than I think if it was just alot of poop.
When she last shed is when she started to glow, do they have a pre ovulation shed as well as a prelay shed?
I never felt follicles but am not experienced enough to feel comforatable palpating her, I didnt want to put much pressure on her. If shes is ovulating would there be anything to feel yet?
Breeders feel for the eggs to count how many so I would like to try to aswell but want to know when it is safe to do so, what I should be feeling for and how gentle I need to be?

You will know an ovulation when you see it. Looks like they ate a football. Here is a girl that just ovulated 2 days ago.

Another thing about palpating.. Go to Ralph Davis' YouTube site - he does a few quick videos where he demonstates how to do it. Here is one.....

YouTube - Pet Project 08 - part 1 ( follicles )

It's better then me trying to describe how....

Good luck.

Down here in good ole florida, i've have had a hard time palpating with my bare hands b/c of the moisture in the air. My skin kinda "sticks" to the snakes skin and makes it almost impossible to palpate. So I am now using 1 layer of toilet paper between my hand and the snakes body. Now I can feel all sorts of goodies in there. If you are having problems, just try this trick.

i might have to try that! i kept trying to palpate my female, but i always worry about the end with teeth. but i noticed i was kinda sticking to her so i stopped. im busting out the paper towels for a different reason i guess. thanks for the tip!
