How long?

After putting a male with a female how long is the time period that your female will start to show she is ovulating or gravid, my female is in shed right now and has not eatin in 3 to 4 months and two weeks ago is when i had my male with her so i guess im asking y is she going into shed and y is she always wrapped in a tight circle

She weighs over 2600 grams and showing her belly alot and i have never seen this behavior from her but im not seeing or feeling any signs of eggs

Can anyone help?

i would say shes pretty close to laying if shes inverted

But it doesn't look like shes pregnant or has eggs or maybe shes just a huge snake that i can't see it how big are BP eggs

somewhat bigger then a grade A jumbo chicken egg is about the the size i would say.

How long follicle take for a ball python and does this happen during when there in shed

Thank you :)

any ideas on my problem

i would say u missed ovy just keep an eye on her

Whats the time period on a ovy that i would of missd it

if she sheds Within 10 - 14 days its safe to say shes going though her prelay shed and you have about 27 - 35 days left. if you missed the pre lay shed then you counting 27 - 35 days.

and actual ovulation only lasts a day or two

Could it be pre OVY shed cause its only been a week since i had her last with my male and then i removed her cause i noticed she was goin into shed and her behavior has changed she used to move alot and be a neck snake but when i hold her she just stays still as can be and when i rub my fingers along her belly she doesn't suck it in or any thing

her belly seems hard

then i would keep her comfortable and hope she lays a nice big clutch and keep handling to a minimum at this time the hard belly is from eggs developing
