More Echo Behavior

Well, last weekend it was bowl wrapping, tonight she's getting IN her water dish. I noticed how wet her enclosure was, and figured she had tipped her water dish, but instead, she'd climbed on in it.

This is not normal behavior for her, she never soaks.

Is this a good sign that she's building follicles? Or am I just reading too much into it?

BTW, after the pictures, we did an enclosure cleaning!:)

Robin.........you are on your way! That has to be a sign! :gj:

I haven't a clue Robin but I can tell you I have one of my females that I've observed breeding doing the exact same behaviours. :)

It's a great thing...IMO - They do it (my do it every year) to get as cool as they can...

Yes it does, but it's a lovely fat!

Godiva, one of my females, did that before laying, last year. She looked comical; huge snake + relatively small water dish = lol.

She's looking great Robin. Always one of my favorite of your beautiful girls.

Water bowl or not, she's looking nice and plump..... :)

Robin....sounds like we are in the same boat right now. During christams one of my females tried to jam herself into her water bowl for almost 4 days straight. Kind of funny because my water bowls are not large enough for her to get into. So shes got about 2/3 of her body mashed into the bowl with the rest of it hanging out and wrapped around. Right now she is again in her bowl with her tail wrapped around it. Diffenetly is a good sign and last week i could feal 3 or 4 follicles. Good luck....I have my fingers crossed!:please:
