I'd get the incubator warm.

What has her behavior been over the last 2 months? Has she been on the warm side or the cool side? Maybe take some pics of her where we can see the tail, too.

Yeah when they start contorting like that u better warm up the bator. Looks like she is positioning the eggs and getting ready

Definitely not an ovy, they stretch out during ovulation instead of twisting like that. when was her last shed?

Im not sure when her last shed was. Thing got crazy for me and i forgot to mark down when her last one was. I know shes been back and forth between the warm side and the cold side. Ill go ahead and get the incubator goin again so its ready when she pops

Ok well I have the bator warming up but this is what I found when I got home this morning. Any guess on how long before she pops?

She looks close to me. Do you know when she shed last? One of my females does that close to laying and lays within a week.

I dont remember. I wish i did tho. I know when i checked on her before work she was there at the front of the tub sayn hit when it opened

Yeah, I'd say she's about to blow. Good you're getting it warmed up. Just keep checking. Of course, that just makes the time go by more slowly! Good Luck!

What was the pairing?

She was paired with my mojave altho its funny. Since i took the pic she hasnt been coiled

I've got a number of girls who look like that and are doing similar things... with the tail super skinny compared to just past the vent which looks swollen, coiling, moving back and forth from hot to cold - one has even pushed her house back and forth around the cage, like it just isn't "feng shui" enough for her :)

From my experience, it means laying will happen soon - but you can't even say it will be tomorrow - or even this week! They'll drop em when they are ready, just keep checking on her in the mornings (they usually lay overnight or in the morning) and be ready for it. I've been waiting on two girls to lay for a while who have been swollen and uncomfortable, looking like they'll pop a bit, but they just aren't really wanting to let go of their eggs just yet :) One of those girls I checked this morning and felt her belly (well more like where her uterus is) and she's so swollen, I can't believe she hasn't dropped those eggs yet :)

cool TY mojave. I have 2 egg boxes in the incubator right now ready to be filled and the bator is sitting at 90.2 so thats ready.

How exciting! I wont try for babies till next year and I can't wait! Keep us updated :)
