I'm just trying to get some info on breeding criteria. weights, age, when you know the female is actually ready to breed. i looked on here and couldn't com eup with some guidlines. i have a python book that says a female will develope a lump in the midsection during ovulation, is this correct? and is it very noticable. im not worried about breeding right now b/c my bp is only around 2 or so. shes still my baby. i would have done a google search but i trust in you guys a whole lot more then joe whats his name that rights a random article for a school paper. thank you kindly.
