I have a female that is absolutely driving me up the wall. She started locking my mojave male back in august. September/October she did the building/bowl wrapping and voracious eating that is associated with follicle development and preparation for breeding. Mid November she shed, and then December 4th she shed again. I have palpated her, there are 6 lumps inside of her that run from her midsection down to the tail. Now, I think that I have either missed an ovulation or she is on her way. I read that at ovulation follicle size is about 45mm, and these are definitely bigger than that. So I am assuming that 1) I missed an ovulation and 2) Dec 4th was her POS. This means that eggs should have been laid 2 days ago or so. Her body is rounded out, she has a ridgeback, she lays in a coil that varies from loose to tight throughout the day. However she doesnt look as swollen as some pictures Ive seen. I dont know what the hell is going on anymore. The bator is set up just in case, but am I expecting an ovulation or am I expecting eggs? How do I differentiate the two based on follicle size? Please help, Im losing my sanity.

This is a pic from about 3 weeks ago.




OH and I forgot to add, she went off feed a month and a week ago and has been refusing the male for the last 3 attempts.
