Eggs? Ovulation? Building? Something else entirely?
Okay, well, let me start off by saying I'm sorry if this is something completely obvious! I do not breed Ball Pythons (or any other snakes, currently) and am pretty oblivious when it comes to it.
I got this girl January 30th at show. She has been in quarantine ever since and has been treated for mites. I recently moved her into a tub because she's been off of food (she was in a vision cage). She ate great for the first month that I had her - she'd eat f/t, live, anything that I'd throw at her. She's been off of food for about a month and a half as of now.
When I took her out today I noticed she looked extremely lumpy. I have not bred her, but she may have been bred before I got her. I am hoping that this is nothing badshe's really a sweet girl!
Here's some pictures.. should I be preparing for eggs or is it just ovulation? My main incubator is already up and running with leopard gecko eggs (set at 86F), but I have a back up hovabator in case that isn't a good temperature for BP eggs.. if that is indeed what this is. I'm a bit concerned because she isn't proper breeding weight.

Please and thank you
EDIT: I'd also like to say that when I gently felt around the masses they felt firm...I didn't want to squeeze too hard but there is definitely four or five of them. 8|
