Is she building follicles?

Found this girl like this today when I got home pseudo-wrapped around her bowl. So far she's just chilling like this. She's been paired every other week for about 2.5 months, though with no confirmed lock ups - though they could have done it while I was sleeping or what not.

My question is, is this a pretty good sign that she's developing follicles, and if so, should I continue to pair her with her mate? Should I also continue to offer her food as well?

I don't see anything significant... Keep pairing and GOOD LUCK!!!

I dont think its possible to show them as they are inside the snake ;).I know some can palpate(feel) them.

Only way to tell is from a slight swelling from building and palpating as far as I know??

Ok thanks. I remember reading that bowl wrapping can be a sign, but I will continue to pair and hope for the best!

If you wanted to see follicles you would need to use an ultrasound

Yeah, and I am awful for feeling for them as well. I was just wondering if this was a good sign that she possible is developing them.

Bowl wrapping is definitely a good sign.

Continue pairing her with her mate until you see a definite ovulation.

Good lock ups generally last for 24+ hours.. so you SHOULD see one eventually if you continue to pair them!
