What do you see?

UPDATE: I just realized she's glowing! I know it can be difficult to detect in brighter morphs, but I was looking back at older pictures of her and she's lightened right up the last few days. She's also been soaking constantly and is looking swollen in the middle. She's such a big girl, I'm unsure whether or not I can tell the difference between ovulation and her usual fat self, though lol.

Also, I mistakenly called her a butter spin blast in the last post. She's a butter spinner. Butter spin blast is a combo we're hoping for

If she is glowing and soaking, then she almost certainly has not ovulated. They glow "before" they go, is the saying, and after ovulation she will quickly go back to her normal coloration. The soaking is a good sign. Almost all my females last season soaked before they ovulated and these were females I had never seen soak before. One stayed in the bowl for the entire shedding process. I believe in all cases it turned to be the pre-ovulation shed in which they were soaking. It's a small sample set, but it was my experience.

Here are a couple pics. The one girl didn't seem to mind that she had tried to cram 1900 grams worth of snake into a 1500 gram capacity bowl.

Thanks for that tid bit! I was wondering why she was starting to darken up again.

Well, she's now been hugging the heat for days and laying in some interesting positions. She's also got a serious case of sausage butt, despite having been off feed for weeks.

Hasn't left the heat. Hoping this is it.

Update! She's been on the heat since Thursday, often in a perfect coil. I assumed I'd missed an ovulation. Tonight I'm not so sure.

Saturday, sausage butt


Yesterday


Tonight. Big bulge in the middle. Deflated tail.


I'm so confused lol

Oh dang that tail swell in the first pic and the sucked out looked of the last pic makes me think within a week or days

Checked on her this morning and found she'd made a big mess of her substrate. Big piles and tunnels everywhere, as if she was rearranging it. She's now laying in a little crater, which I'm guessing is a positive sign.

Has she shed at all.? Mine sir or ma'am AerialArtist is developing the shed signs blue eyes and a lil thicker 1' away from the mouth neck area <---guess/know it makes it easier to shed in 1 piece when this happens.. !

No shed yet, but she's getting close!
