I've promised myself that I wouldn't start a thread about this, and was assuming I wouldn't have to either... Well, I was wrong. I've read quite a bit about breeding balls for the last 1,5-2 years, but when it comes to where I am experience things myself it isn't as easy as I thought.

In my opinion there is pretty poor information about the actual ovulation process, and that's why I have to ask. Yes, I've read about building follicles and so on, and I've understand that the ovuluation is happening in about 24 hours - the female become big as she's eaten a too big meal and if you see it you cannot mistaken it and so on, but I have some question about this process after all.

I have a female who stopped eating for 4ish weeks ago, she shed on 01/22/12, she become brighter in my eyes, especially in her neck area, the pattern got very blushed out than usual. But here's what I confused about.. On thursday she become bigger from half her body and down.. Wednesday she got bigger.. And on thursday she was even bigger. And on friday she was at her normal size again. So... Could it be ovy? It's not that long since her shed, and it was not what I am expecting an ovulation to be, based on all those pictures I've seen. Do they get bigger the days before until the actually ovulation finds place?

It wasn't air, and it wasn't poop... Well, she had pooped a tiny bit of this white stuff (sorry, don't remember what its called right now) on friday, but that cannot be why she was that big, and I've seen snakes who's been full of poop and it wasn't enough.. I'm exited to see if she goes into shed about 2-3 weeks but as an first timer breeding balls I'm very excited and want some inputs on this right away.. I've waited a few days because I want to be patiance, but this was quite weird so I had to ask..

Here a pic of the female at her biggest, on thursday


Som inputs please?
