I took pics tonight of some of my breeding girls and thought I would share. I give all of my developing girls large water dishes and find most start soaking several weeks before ovulation so you will see a few in their bowls. This behavior has helped me catch many OV's and is a welcomed sight when girls start glowing and soaking.
First here is a gravid one, she's got a few weeks to lay

This is a reduced pattern girl thats starting to glow, she is usually real dark and brassy
And her daughter that should go this year.
She is building nicely
This is a burgandy that I am trying to prove this season with her son.

These two have been lovy dovy all winter
I have been waiting on the gal for a couple of years and i think this will be her season
This one is showing all the signs she's ready, just began pairing her
Hoping for some pinstripe ghosts this girlfriend
Het albino who is usually lays late season.
Het Albino we produced and is looking good to go this season for the first time
I like to keep pics as records to compare girls as they go through their breeding behaviors and color changes. Always a good reference.
