I offer all my building females large water bowls. All of my girls soak right before ovulation.
This female Xena, has laid for me two years in a row the second week of Feburary. She has been soaking for 2 days now and looks she is right on schedule to ovulate the second week of Jan. She is not in shed, is off feed and is starting to glow.
Has anyone else studied this behavior? I rarely see a slug and wonder if this helps with hydration of snake and/or egg development?
This is only my personel experience and is not backed by any scientific proof other than my own observations. I havent read anything on the topic either but thought I would share.
