    Good advice. I've only bred one clutch thus far, so I'm no expert... but with my one clutch, this was basically the process I noticed! Mona (the mom) is usually a good feeder, and she stopped eating between the pre-ov shed & ovulation - which was very obvious in her case (looked like she'd eaten a rabbit, LOL).

    You know what might help, sookieball? I keep very good records on my snakes, so you should check out Mona's iHerp breeding entry: http://www.iherp.com/HerpTrack/Breed...ingRecord=1418

    Then look at her general records for that time period, and see when she stopped eating, shed, etc: http://www.iherp.com/HerpTrack/Track...AnimalID=25982 (scroll down to March-June 2010)
