I don't know whats going on....

I just checked in on the love birds.... I have a lock!!! I didn't want to disturb them trying to get pic, do you blame me lol so I'm guessing my time line was slightly off. Will they still attempt to breed during or after ovulation? Is laying inverted usually noticed before or after ovulation?

My females will start refusing food and the males when they know they are good to go and about to ovulate and the males seem to know and dont try, so I stop pairing at this point. As far as locking after ovulation, theres no point, shes already gravid. Snakes lay inverted for all sorts of reasons, she could be building, ect. I have juveniles/sub adults that will lay somewhat on their sides after a big meal and so on. The only time I see my breeding females laying inverted or contorted is a couple weeks before they are going to lay and at this point it is obvious they are full of eggs that they are trying to position.
