When did she ovulate? When did you start pairing?

Re: Could I have jumped the date gun?
From the info I've been reading from http://www.ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html It looks like she ovulated Jan 3, 2013. And she was paired last year with the pewter before we bought them both, she's had 3 clutches before with the previous owner. And we started pairing her with the pewter again and the male spider in the begining of October.
Also, when my husband checked her earlier she was soaking a bit in her water dish.

She wouldn't be coiled up like that during ovulation, they stretch out and it looks like they ate a nerph foot ball. That isn't what I would call a tail suck either. It looks like all the fat in their tail was sucked out, not bulging like they have to poo/lay.
I would say she is building especially since she is soaking in the water bowl. People mistake building for ovulation all the time. They look huge and sometimes lumpy.

I'm very new to breeding as well but to me it looks like she might be in the building stage still.. Keep pairing them..

Re: Could I have jumped the date gun?
I just took a peak at her and she is still soaking in her water dish. I'm still somewhat confused though, we can feel the eggs. Will she lay eggs for us soon or our we just getting excited over nothing

Ok then So if she is soaking and she does look like she will be shedding soon, would this shed be her pos then? And should we put our male with her until she sheds?

I'll be the first to admit I've never bred my balls...but I did purchase a possibly gravid female yesterday, so I'm on the lookout for building behavior. I've done my reading and I've discovered that pre-ovulation sheds can be quite unreliable. Sometimes they can easily be mistaken for normal shed cycles. However, if your girl did just recently shed and is going back into shed, then this upcoming shed could be your pre-ovulation shed.
Also, you can keep pairing until the pair don't show interest in each other or until she ovulates. Good luck!
