    1545g normal.... im confused.

    alright, backstory- i got her in a trade for a yellowbelly female hatchling.
    (before i got her)
    10/6 she shed and had been cool seeking for a week
    10/5 was paired with a pastel lesser male and got a good visible lock
    10/9 refused feed
    10/16 refused feed

    10/19 i got her
    10/22 shed again
    10/23 refused feed (could be because of a new environment)
    * i also bumped her down from a medium rat to a small to try and get her to take it.

    temps are all normal. i maintain a cool side of 78-80 and a hot spot set at 90 witch in the tub measures at 87.8-9

    i attempted to palpate her and felt 6-7 "balls" about the consistency of waterbeads. im not sure if those were follicles or not.
    and she seems to be "glowing" her head is extremely blushed along with her neck.
    should i be watching close for an ovulation?
    if so, what kind of timeline am i looking at from ovulation to lay?
    and how big do the follicles get before ov? right now they feel a little smaller than a marble

    Yes. Two sheds. That's why I am so confused here. But the guy before me could have missed it. But why would he trade a gravid female. See where I'm going with this?

    You are a ways off from ovy yet. 75% of my females have marble sized follicles and I just started pairing. Some are females that just laid eggs in June/July.

    When you feel follicles the size of ping pong balls start getting the incubator ready
