I thought my girl Mona was about to pop, but since I never saw an ovulation, I'll need some second opinions! She did give me 6 eggs last summer, but I saw an obvious ovulation that time - so there was NO question when she'd be laying.

Her last shed was on 4/17, so if that was her pre-lay shed, I should be expecting eggs any day... and if it was a pre-ov shed, the timing would also work out for today/tomorrow. Anyway, whaddya think based on these photos from tonight? Should I get an incubator fired up, or is the swelling actually her ov?







P.S. She's acting pretty grumpy and nervous, while she's usually a fairly mellow snake.
