Hey everyone!

So this is my first season breeding. I've got a female who has definitely gotten HUGE over the past month, and over the past couple weeks, she has been showing a lot of signs of follicular development (cool seeking, trying to cram into her water bowl, bowl wrapping, etc). I haven't seen her on her warm side for probably about a month as well. She is, however, still eating like a champ and never rejects a meal.

How long after you see signs of follicular development do you typically see ovulation? Also, I've read about "tail suck", in reference to the snakes looking like their tails got all of the fat sucked out of them. I read earlier about someone referring to tail suck as a concave depression going from the vent about a third of the way up the females body as a sign of ovulation. I've never heard of this before; is that a common thing?

Just for kicks, here is a couple pictures of her. I have another female that is starting to get big, so just trying to figure out when to really watch her.

Thanks!
