Re: Something Happening..... OR Not
She has gone into the blue. I reckon eggs are on the way.

Two ideas: after she sheds, does she take a massive poop? The two times I've experienced the pre-lay/ post ovulation sheds have not involved any poop until well after laying and eating again. Also, after she sheds, trying pairing her up again. If she locks, she's most likely not yet gravid. Good luck to you, it can feel like the process that never ends!

Re: Something Happening..... OR Not
She looks like she could just be building follicles, here is a great site that helped me a lot when I bred my bps for the first time they have pictures for the whole experience- https://ballpython.ca/breeding/

Re: Something Happening..... OR Not
So if building follicles, this could be a pre ovulation shed.

Here is what I can tell you from experience once you feel follicles of the size of a quarter which is what you are describing, the female do no longer need to be paired however she is still at risk for re-absorption.
At 25 mm you are still a little way from ovy, follicles are golf ball size right before ovulation and if it has been 3 weeks since palpating chances are she is there.
Now as far as what to expect well first follicular development take anywhere between 4 to 8 months, during that time your female will migrate to the cool side and spend most of her time there, once she ovulates she will move back to the warm side, stop eating (if she has not yet) and have a pre-lay shed 14 days after ovulation and lay her eggs on average 45 days after ovulation.
If you are observant even if it's your first year you should know where she stands and ovulations are really hard to miss.

Thank You so Much Deborah, I just went back to my records, Follicles detected on 11 November 2018. So that is 5 weeks ago.
I have also to date not seen an ovulation, but have not checked on her every single day.
She has eaten very infrequently over the past 3 or 4 months, if I go to me records I could get accurate figures, but from memory,not more than 3 medium rats in the past 4 months, and yet she has put on weight.
What made me think that she was gravid is that I have never seen any of my Ball Pythons lay on their side like she is doing. She also seems to alternate from side to side.
I will try and catch an ovie after she sheds, and will also look out for eggs 40 or so days after her shed, just in case she is further along than we think.
I will continue to update from time to time, may I ask that the experts like Deborah and company just check back every now and then and keep advising me. I don't want to mess this one up.
I have bred Colubrids and Dumeril Boas, but this is something totally new to me.

Re: Something Happening..... OR Not
She seems to have answered the question for us. She is bowl wrapping at the moment so I am inclined towards, not gravid, but building. My problem is that she is way out of sync. Just about all the females that took in our breeding season this year have already got eggs that are hatched and hatching. She is at least 2 months out of sync. Any opinions would be most welcome.
