Breeding female not eating

Ovy means ovulation right?

If she glows or "shine" more than she are used to, does that mean anything about breeding or something? Like she is ready to be bred? I mean, she should be because she is about 1400grams and 3 years old.

How long time does it normaly take for a female to ovulate from the moment I introduce the male to her? It has been about 2 mounths now, and all I have seen is a couple of locks. I have no patience anymore, I want eggs now !

time can be very different in the females. some go fast and some take forever. my female fire just laid her clutch yesterday 1/11/2012 and she was ultrasound late summer with very large follicles. I thought she would of had her clutch months ago. some of my other females who had smaller follicles when we ultrasounded them laid months before her. she had 7 eggs, 6 with good veins showing. so females can go thru their stages differently than others.

keep putting the male in and also take him out. when you give with time away from her and then put him back in, it will sometimes put interest back into him to breed. if you just leave him in with her, he could lose interest in her. and offer smaller food than what she normally eats. this might help, if she stops feeding, this is also a normal condition. some eat and some won't

Lol Jerry you always crack me up!

It's nature.. You know my special trick that works every single time? .................

I put them together.... I separate them. Wash, rinse, repeat! If it happens it happens.. No tricks. No freaking out.. Someone always stops eating.. Oh well. They're balls! They don't eat!! It sucks! It's life!

I never cooled. I don't pay attention to wether or not it's an ovy. I always get eggs.

You'll stress yourself to death worrying over them. Just wait. A few clutches hatched, a few babies assist fed, heck, someday you may even have to perform surgery. After awhile you won't worry about any of this. It will come as naturally in your mind as it does to your snakes

All right, one said I should stop breeding while the rest of you told me that these things happens to all breeders at some point.

Everyone of you noted that I had no patience, which was kind of a joke. I would not have any problems at all waiting until next season with breeding her.

I will continue breeding and offering rats every week. Only time will tell what will happen. Thanks all !

Does she have follicles?

Does she have follicles?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, this would be my first clutch ever. When people talk about growing follicles, do they mean when eggs are growing inside the female?

So follicles will turn into eggs? I will do what Ralph does, maybe I can feel something. Thanks for the link !
