Re: Is she ovulating?
How heavy is she? Looks pretty small if that's a 32qt tub.

Re: Is she ovulating?
how can you tell if she is ovulating? i've read many articles concerning ovulation but i can never seem to actually tell if a snake is ovulating or not

You can tell she is ovulating when you open their enclosure and it looks like they swallowed a small football. There is a very obvious localized swelling at doesn't last very long, but it very noticeable. Once you see it, there is NO mistaking it. 
I would have to say that it doesn't look like an ovulation to me.
Here is a pic of an ovulation... http://www.ball-pythons.net/gallery/.../ovulation.jpg

Re: Is she ovulating?
what if you feed your snake rats the size of footballs?  because i feed my snake once every 2 weeks and they always look like they have just swallowed a footbal. should i downsize the meals? just in the breeding season?

Re: Is she ovulating?
most of my females tend to slow down on eating and yes i would not feed her to large of a meal even my 3000+ girls i feed only medium rats i just offer them more than one i had one girl eat 4 med rats. i dont force food on them when they finish one completely i offer them another.
