well, looking back on the records makes me wonder

do snakes ovulate even if they're not bred?

Merangue's 2nd to last shed was on December 22nd. her FIRST lock, EVER, was on December 31st. so i don't think her March 7th shed was her post-ovy shed, i think it was her PRE-ovy shed.

i paired her with our male spider again last night, not expecting much. open the bin this morning, and they're locked tight, both chillin' in the lay box.

SO i conclude that she has not yet ovulated
