Nice! What was the pairing?
Re: First breeding project...coming along
Keep up the good work (and don't stop pairing now)!

She looks to me like she's in the developing/building phase. I like to get one good lock per month during that phase until I see a nice, big ovulation from my girls. Ovys are quite obvious, looking very much so like they swallowed a football. She's not quite there yet, but could certainly be getting close.
Along those lines, have you see Mark Mandic's Breeding Pictorial? It's a very useful guide when it comes to knowing what physical signs to look for along the way: http://ballpython.ca/breeding/.

Building can take awhile, yes. The late stages are when it's most important to get those pairings in so she doesn't go backwards and reabsorb on you. Here's to hoping that the Crystal stud does the deed for ya. :gj:
