    If you had to guess..

    ..does she look big enough for this to be a pre-lay shed?

    Re: If you had to guess..

    See, I don't know. Last year was the first time I have dealt with a laying female; I remember Ginger got so huge and looked almost inflated, like the posts you see where peoples' snakes "swallowed a football." But this girl is not that big yet.. so when she sheds, I do think she has some size to gain before I'd think she would lay..
    I feel like such a dummy, lol.

    Sounds like the pre ovulation shed. If she is continues breeding with your male then she hasn't ovulated. If it is the pre ov she'll be hot to trot!

    Yay! See, I think that she has ovulated; they were locked up all the time, and this past day or so, nothing, after I replaced him following a rest period for him.
