lumpy?

[Reesy]

Hey Ya'll, I have read that when a female is ovulating or post-ov. she can look lumpy. Can ya'll expand on this, be a little more descriptive? Maybe some pics? of what this means, lumpy. Thanks, Reesy.

Well when the follicles have developed, you can feel them if you run your hand down the body of the female. But when the eggs are almost ready to come out, the female will have a lumpy appearance due to the eggs being in her body.

Ok Ya'll. She is staying on the cool end of her enclosure. Sometimes wrapping herself around the water dish. She is also displaying the kinky body like on the site Sookieball posted.(Thanks Sookie). As you all now she has locked with one of my males multiple times. How long does it normally take to develope follicles and ovulate?
