Female Building?

[snakelady]

This will be my first season breeding pythons.

My female ball that has been going hot and heavy with my male, every week since dec, has started refusing him. He also seems more interested in food, like he may eat soon. Oh and she did seem very lumpy and on the cool side of the tub this morning. (though, I have seen lumps before even when she's not breeding.) She's not wrapping her water bowl or anything like that.
She ate last week first time in 2 months. Didn't eat this week.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

no advice?

First, good luck with your breeding this year! I'd still pair them once every two weeks or so until you have a confirmed ovulation.

Has she started to lighten up any for you? Usually people will mistake building for an ovulation - but an ovulation will be rock hard. So - if you don't see any noticeable swelling, it's hard to say if she's building yet, but if she's glowing, you know you're on your way!

Keep trying, keep feeding, keep pairing

thanks! I think I'm a little worried about doing something wrong or missing something.

i'd keep pairing . . . 3 days together 3 days apart and continue that till you notice an obvious ovulation
