finally!

i thought she did, and then i thought maybe she didn't, then i thought maybe she did and i just didn't catch it until it was almost over... but tonight norah DID ovulate! somehow she looks so much more huge in person than in the photo, but i checked in on her earlier and found her looking like this:

i noticed yesterday that she was super light in color--she has been since her last shed but yesterday it was much more noticeable all of the sudden. she is still really light and gorgeous, which i know will go away with her post ovulatory shed but i can't help but admire her lightness.

hopefully everything will go smoothly and she will lay me a nice big clutch of 50% het pieds! :D (she was bred with cash, my 100% het pied, who i must say, for a first time breeder was quite the man. :P)

Wow she looks super gorgeous! Hope she pops out a bunch of good eggs for you!

Looking good to my eyes :D .You gotta love those those gentlemen studs lol.Now i hope you remember us when you produce pieds someday(hint hint).

Congrats mlededee. Good luck with thos eggs. Now the long wait for eggs, then the long wait for them to hatch.

Congrats thats awsome, cant wait to see egg pics. Good Luck.

congrats hope for a lot of girls in the clutch

WooHoo! Congratulations Emily! She looks gorgeous!!!!!

thanks all, and yes, lots of girls is what i'm hoping for!

the last time i weighed her accurately was in january and she was 3200 grams and she ate almost every week for me up until about a month ago so i'm sure she weighed at least a little more than that prior to ovulating, soooo by adam's magical mathematical egg laying equation she should lay 11 eggs or so.... which would be fabulous! :D :banana:

I get all squirmy just thinking about it! hahaha...I can imagine how YOU must feel! :pinkele:

There's an equation? (dang I hate math but...) I've never heard of this. Time to call Adam LOL

jo, check out the first several posts on this page: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...2&page=2&pp=10. :)

Ahhh ty Emily I missed that! So you take the pre-ovulation weight and basically divide by 3 (dropping all the zero's and so forth) to get an estimated egg count....how very cool!
