    Building-Ovy-Or what?

    I have a female BP that has locked up with one of my males 8 times now. I have noticed my female getting thicker. The last meal she took was on 2/8 and has not wanted to eat since. She shedded on 3/4 and I have noticed her seeming to be getting lighter then normal. Was looking at her today an she looks thick, I felt her and she seems kinda hard in the thick spot.

    What do you all think?
    Not the best pics in know sorry and stuff. She really didn't want her picture taken

    Just a build. When they ovulate they will not lay on top of themselves like that. They will have a hard bend above the swell and a hard bend below the swell. Trust me, when it happens you WILL know. Here are a couple pics of ovulation...





    I will say that your girl looks as if she will ovualte within the next 2 to 3 weeks from the look of her swell.

    Actually, if you look a little bit back, you'll see a series of pics of one of my girls building up.

    Yours definitely looks like she's building, but there will start to be a noticeablely huge increase when the time really comes. It goes from being "Hmmm, I THINK she might be building..." to "HOLY COW Did you secretly eat a rabbit or something?!"

    It's extremely distinct, and if you just check her once or twice a day you'll see when it starts happening.

    Good luck to you!
