Gravid female after pre lay shed, not coiling the heated area

[XSReptiles]

I have a female that ovulated the 16th of Feb and shed the 5th of March. She's since they laid in the warm end of the cage yet uncoiled. She has also spent a considerable amount of time alert and active in the front of the cage. She tends to try and come out when I pull out the rack when she is in the front. Is there any concern for such behavior?

Sounds like she did not ovulate to me. Has she started to glow?

[XSReptiles]

Yeah she started glowing the 3rd of Feb and have a kinked tail. Then she started to have some swelling. Not obvious as some I've seen but it was present. Do you not think she is ovulating in the above pix?

[XSReptiles]

Here are a couple more photos. Her swelling subsided after 2 days. Her behavior seems some what restless lately.

She's not as big as I'd like. I picked her up from CL as already bred. I was only able to get her to eat 4 meals before she went off feed.

To me the second set of pictures is an ovulation.

check your temps, She might be looking for a better "spot"

I have dual sided radiant heat in so the walls get to the low 90s yet the substrate is cooler. I added a small strip of flexwatt to use as belly heat just for her. I'll start checking them more often.

Maybe she is too warm?

[XSReptiles]

I could be a tad too much for her liking. I'll keep an eye on the temps.
