I took pics tonight of some of my breeding girls and thought I would share. I give all of my developing girls large water dishes and find most start soaking several weeks before ovulation so you will see a few in their bowls. This behavior has helped me catch many OV's and is a welcomed sight when girls start glowing and soaking.
First here is a gravid one, she's got a few weeks to lay

I like to keep pics as records to compare girls as they go through their breeding behaviors and color changes. Always a good reference.
