Ovy or not?!?

Sorry to bug the world again but being my first time breeding I just get so anxious so here goes
This is the pic I posted on 04-30 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/21/umuza5u5.jpg since then she has locked with my spider boy twice and has been constantly soaking in her water dish when held up by the first 1/4 of her body there is an obvious paunch when I looked at her today after getting home from work I saw this
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/21/za9ujusa.jpg her tail looks much skinnier and so does her upper half right?? Is this ovy or am I still crazy?? Lol thanks everyone in advance for your input

I haven't bred anything yet, however from what I've seen on here, it LOOKS like an ovy.
Had she eaten recently?

Not in two months

Looks like an ovulation to me. Congrats!

If it's not, it's close. You'll probably think that is the ovy, and in a few days you'll look and it will be completely obvious.

You can lift her tail and see if the scales are sunken in near the tip. If they are, then it's definitely an ovy. If not, she's very close!

okay so i tried this and there was sort of a sunk in look but then i attempted to pick up her tail from another angle and it was if the sunk in portion had disappeard idk if it was the way i picked her tail up or not but it was sort of confusing lol!

It would be really noticeable. I bet she's just building. If she's ovulating, her tail will look concave.

okay so if she is just building should i expect an ovy within a week? or like a couple days ?lol

Depends on the female.

Congrats! Thats an ovy. Get ready to fire up the incubator and best of luck.

I'm not exactly an old pro at this (my first season as well) but from my experience it LOOKS like she's probably still building. The same thing happened with my girl. She blew up, looked huge, I kept thinking "I bet this is it!" but I was reassured consistently that I would know. And trust me. You will know. Scale separation is a dead giveaway, and as fat as she looks right now unless it's a tiny ovulation you will have absolutely no doubt.
Hope this helps! Good luck!!
Edit: Looking at that second picture more closely it's pretty convincing. But I also found photos didn't do it justice for mine!

I feel like the upper portion of her body continues to go down while her lower portion continues to swell this normal?

So 16days after this post she shed so is it pretty safe to say I have a 30 (or so) day wait for eggs??

The wait may be a little more or a little less so just breathe. Ours went after 27 days. Some I've heard go 45. Never the less it looks like your on your way. As you get closer to the expected day for her to lay, watch for here to start twisting herself up, as she moves the eggs down into a position to push out. She will almost look like a pretzel. Once you see that, it will likely be a day or two. Best of luck and I can't wait to see pictures of the clutch.
