    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

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand
