I agree, she's gorgeous and looks like a moose! How many grams is she?

I always get my most accurate count of eggs AFTER ovulation.

You can also seem them move in the snake - if you hold her up with her tail towards the ground, then gently shift her so her head it toward the ground, you can see them move in either direction.

Yep. You can definitely feel them as the get closer to the lay date. You can usually tell if you have slugs as well.

depending on how far along she is....if you hold her up and allow her to relax to completely extended her herself down you can actually count how many eggs she has inside her. every wave on the belly you see will be an egg....if you see a large space between the waves it's usually a slug.
