There is a good explanation here on tail suck here: http://www.ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html

Sure looks like she is going through her ovy now. Congrats

Yep that looks like an ovulation to me. :) I've seen it on my Kay enough to recognize it now. :) Expecting to see it again in a few weeks.....

Thank you all.Hope all turns out well.
I would just want to ask another question:
After ovulation, how long does she take to change behaviour to stay more on the warm side?

Here is a cool chart that help explains everything.
I'm pretty sure it was Dr. Dell that posted this.

I would say no. I've always heard they shouldn't eat while gravid (perhaps an old wives tale?). I doubt she'd accept anyways. Congrats on the ovy!

I don't even try to offer food after ovy - she will probably eat after she lay's (around 30 days from POS) :).
Congrats on a first ovy - it's always exciting :D.
