    What does it mean when a snake ovulates?

    How do you tell?

    Mmm, delicious.

    It's actually accurate though. Like one of those Nerf footballs they sell in grocery stores.

    You'll also see her colors brighten and lighten almost unbelievably in the several days before the actual ovy. This is called "glowing". Although it's not the most reliable prediction, and it's always possible to miss it; always is with these girls.

    I have a normal girl who was lowing for WEEKS before she ovulated. I have a pastel who is currently ovulating and she didn't glow at all.

    But yes, it looks like they swallowed a nerf football. Very neat to see!
