This is one of the many signs of a breeding female. When/if you see your 1st OV you will not be able to miss it. She will look like she just swallowed a huge rat. My first year was last year and I was relentless trying to catch all the telltale signs. Have a great time and remember that it is quite possible that you may miss the OV. Watch for growth around her lower third even if you miss the the actual OV you will definitely at least see a visible build in this area. Aftyou verify that point watch for a shed cycle soon after, I noticed that shortly before OV my females stopped accepting the males, where I would see lock all the time now there were none. Keep your eye on her, I think you will have a nice clutch coming your way soon.
