    Building, follicles, ovulation??

    I keep reading about what means what but I cannot seem to figure it out. I palpated this lady after seeing a video about it and felt four bumps on the lower 1/3 of her body. It would explain why she has not been eating but still gaining weight?

    Also, just now took this picture, does it mean anything? At this hour she's habitually curled in her hot spot or moving around exploring.

    I have not been breeding her but she was last year.

    "I'll only get one" I said, cuddling a bp hatchling "See how it goes"
    Two months later :
    2 adults, 2 juveniles and 1 bci.
    "Oops"
    Next month :
    Conquering the world

    Sorry, but I don't see anything in the photo that would give me reason to think she is gravid.

    Another photo or photos showing us the last third of her body would be great, could you also take a photo of her while you're holding her up vertically. If she's building you might be able to see follicles stacking up on each other while in the vertical.

    Check out this video I uploaded a few years ago it might help.

    Good luck

    Sorry for the time it took! Here are the pictures I took this week. They were hard to take, I have no idea how any of you guys do it, she kept moving around and trying to curl up my legs...






    It's weird because even my sister (is not a snake person) saw a bulge, but I can't seem to see it in the pictures...

    Im not sure about breeding and what not- but there's definitely a buldge, well more like a crook, there. Look in the second picture closely, and you dont need to look that far down.

    She is shedding. She also lost the weight she took, so I can suppose she absorbed the follicles (?) ?




    Also got this new lady. She has locked a few weeks back. The guy that had her as no idea of her age and says she'll propably lay in October but she seems to already be cooking or Im seeibg things. She barely weights 1.5kg

    for the other girl she seems a thin girl?(might be the picture) She might be building but it is not massive... What I do notice when my females start building, they generally start becoming food crazy....

    for the main post, it might be her ovulation. Just wait 30 ish days after this shed and you know for certain

    She is quite thin for a supposed big girl. I'll hope she eats before popping...

    Also thanks for the info! I'm already keeping tabs on what happens when and good to know how much time to wait.
