Go to that site and check out the step-by-step pictures of breeding. They also have several very excellent ways to tell if your snake has ovulated or is gravid.



A few of the 'symptoms' I can remember of being GRAVID, not ovulating, are: Coiled up in a perfect coil on the warm side of the tank, crankiness, a fattening of the last half of the snake's body, also the ovulation shed, after which you have roughly a month until she lays eggs.



Good luck!
