Is It Just Wishful Thinking?

I've nothing usefull to add, but I hope she's on the right track to being a mama for ya ;) :) btw...I dont think I have ever seen a pic of Mike WITHOUT a Red Wings shirt on :P LMAO Do they exist?:P

She seems to have that "blocky" look to her.. like my two females who have been bred over the past few months.. just b/c you didn't see the lock, means nothing! Ginger's eggs last year proved that to me.
As for her looking darker, only you can read your snake. It is cool how knowing an animal so well, we can tell when things are different about them.. maybe it does mean something!

LMAO if they do, he's destoyed em! It's either Red Wings, some sort of beer themed t-shirt or his beloved 8Ball t-shirt. My man is definitely not a "metrosexual" type...he's all about t-shirt and jeans and happy with it LOL.

As far as palpating, I would try the thing I have seen mentioned on here a couple times. Take a paper towel over your fingers to let her slide easier, and I think its easier to use the tips of my first two fingers on the snakes belly instead of laying my index finger all the way across. Let us know how it goes!!!

I will Neil and thanks. I have a few links saved on how to palp so I'll be trying it later today. I swear I'm more nervous then when I was preggie myself LOL.

Sounds just like me :D Especially the beloved 8 Ball shirt, ...90% of my shirts have some kind of racy catchphrase on them, so "Isnt about time you got some balls?" just fits so well..I guess its "me" Most people dont even realize its a snake shirt, they just think it's another one of my "crazy shirts" LOL Except for my daughter, she knows. She goes all crazy.."snakey shirt, snakey shirt!" I want to get one for her, seeing my lil 2 year old rockin an 8 Ball tee would be the epitome of cute :D

Sorry for the de-rail, hope you get lots 'o babies :D

We just tried palpating here about 2 weeks ago ... it was funny, Alyssa and I grinning from ear to ear. We got everbody in the house to feel the folicles, on Anita they felt like golf balls, and on Chel (a female I pickedup from Cue), they feel like shooter marbles.


Good Luck!!!

Hey I love a good de-rail LMAO! Yep our 5 year old in his 8Ball shirt is a hoot! It's in the wash today so he'll just have to wait to wear it till tonight. I had to basically steal it off his back to get the thing laundered! :D

We were actually planning on continue to cycle her through with Malachi as we are with Kyna and Orlah, our other two big girls.

Brannagh suddenly looks heavier to me....chubbier...lumpier somehow. She's due to eat tomorrow so she is empty in this pic I just took. She's a nice big female granted and being a total newb at breeding I'm struggling to describe this in words but she just doesn't look like she normally does the day before eating. She hasn't gone off food though since she started cycling through with the male she has cut back a bit but Brannagh would eat if the world was tumbling down around her LOL.

Is this just wishful thinking? I was planning to feed her tomorrow as usual, wait 3 days then cycle her back in with Malachi. Should we just continue with this plan for this week?

I was planning, with Mike's help to try my first palpitations on all three breeding females later today. Any tips folks for a first timer and can I hurt anything if Brannagh is indeed been bred? (okay is it obvious I'm nervous yet LOL).

In my opinion and going by the pics,i think your big girl has some junk in that trunk! AKA ovulation :cool:

Well we tried the palpitating thing...very interesting LOL. With Kyna whose been with Malachi three times now I felt some sort of pebble/marble things in her, tried to count them and got four but who the heck knows really. I'll keep checking her. With Orlah whose just going in with Malachi for her first time later this week I just felt solid, smoothness...no bumps. With Brannagh whose pictured above it was harder because she's so big now. I thought I could feel bigger bumps in her (much bigger than Kyna's) but again hard to say since I'm not sure what I'm feeling for and she's so darn thick and muscular (plus I was scared to squeeze down too hard). I'll keep checking, practising this palp thing and rotating Malachi through with all three. Boy what a nice winter Mal is having. I'm sure Riordan and Buddy are jealous as all get out! LOL
