It's actually very easy. It just takes a little time and patience. What I like to do is wait til right after they're done laying. Then, as I palpate them away from the momma, I count them....haha
I've been able to palpate and definitely tell that they have follicles and eggs, but I have had no success in being able to tell how many are there.
One tip I learned from a JKR video was that he curls his fingers up into the snake while palpating. I tried that, and boy, what a difference. You can follow along a lot better and feel the follicles way better.
Look up some vids on BP breeding or palpating for follicles. It may help you learn.
Your big girl looks good. She's likely building toward ovulation still. Good luck!
