There is a good explanation here on tail suck here: http://www.ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html

Sure looks like she is going through her ovy now. Congrats

Yep that looks like an ovulation to me. I've seen it on my Kay enough to recognize it now. Expecting to see it again in a few weeks.....

Thank you all.Hope all turns out well.
I would just want to ask another question:
After ovulation, how long does she take to change behaviour to stay more on the warm side?

Here is a cool chart that help explains everything.
I'm pretty sure it was Dr. Dell that posted this.

I would say no. I've always heard they shouldn't eat while gravid (perhaps an old wives tale?). I doubt she'd accept anyways. Congrats on the ovy!

I don't even try to offer food after ovy - she will probably eat after she lay's (around 30 days from POS) .
Congrats on a first ovy - it's always exciting .
