    First ovy of 2019?

    So, this is my second year of actually breeding, but last year I only had one female and I missed her ovy so I didn't see what to look for.
    I've read a bunch of threads on here to try to prepare, as well as reading and re-reading Markus Jayne's pictorial guide, but I'd still like opinions please.

    This is my Enchi girl, Shelley. She's been building for a while, when I cleaned her out 2 days ago she had a noticeable belly bump and slight ridged back, despite not eating for a couple months now. She's locked several times to one of my males, so I figured ovy would be along soon.

    Today looked in on her and the bottom 2/3 of her body looks all full and bloated, and her ridge back is more pronounced, as well as her tail looking skinny, which all sounds like an ovy to me. What do you guys think? Pics below, though they don't quite do it justice. Thanks in advance ^-^

    Is she only Enchi?
    Really nice pattern reduction, looks similar to my Enchi Kalabash morph

    Hard to tell from the photos, but it sounds like she has ovulated.

    Yeah she was sold to me as only enchi - if there's more I guess I'll find out soon! Thanks for your opinion =]

    So, it turns out this was not an ovulation, as I can see clearly now that she's very gravid. She spends almost all her time in a tight coil and, when she's not like that, she's inverted. I can see the outline of the eggs all along her belly, and they seem pretty close to her vent, so I'm guessing she may not be much longer before laying.
