    Exclamation New Ball python, might have follicles!? Advice?

    So, I've done a lot of reading, but I don't have any hands on experience with reptile breeding. I just acquired a 1700g normal female who he tried to pair with one of his males. He said he didn't witness a lock up, but when I went to pick her up, he said he could feel the beginnings of follicles and that if she goes off feed for a longer than a week(she is a frightening eater xD) to contact him and he'd help me set up an incubator.
    Well, this was much sooner than I was expecting and now I'm not sure where to go from here xD She's still eating well and pulled off a beautiful shed while I left for work for five hours 0.0
    But yeah, I'm a newbie, might have a clutch sooner than expected, and I seem to have forgotten everything I've read in my frazzled state @.@
    If he was incorrect, I'm not going to be too sad because my original plans were to pick up a lesser male before the breeding season, and giving her a go.

    I would wait till I saw an ovulation. Tiny follicles without actually trying to breed, isn't really anything. There are many steps to getting to eggs.

    So, wait for an ovulation...you'll then have around 40-45 days to get it together
