Ovulation?
This girl is a first timer. She is almost 3000g and will be 3 years old in December. She has been off feed since July/August and has been heat seeking for the last few weeks. Gravid or ovulating? I want your opinions.

Looks like it to me. The tail suck is a sign as well.

Re: Ovulation?
Last visual lock was about 2-3 weeks ago.

No... you should start the countdown from OVULATION.... not shed... one BIG misrepresented factor about breeding. ~45 days from OVULATION. Forget the shed...
Good luck.

since shed periods are longer for larger snakes, and shorter for smaller snakes, I count down from the shed period.
I used to start checking for egg laying about day 25 after prelay shed, but have caught a female laying on 22 days after so I start peeking in on the females around day 20 after prelay shed now.
If I went by 45 days after that girls prelay I would have been 10 days late, lol.
