Thanks for those you posted on my previous post. Here are some different shots I took today. She looked a lot bigger in the matter of 24 hrs.

She also looks duller than normal....like she is about to go into shed.

Beauties.

If the male is still working on her and hasn't lost all interest, keep them together because she is probably not gravid. Once the male loses interest, it's a somewhat fair bet that she is gravid, but not until then.

Keep that male in there. If she is ovulating now now is the perfect time for the male to be breeding her. I would leave him in there for another month. She looks like she is well on her way though.

opinons are like a--holes... everybody has one and they all stink

Like I said before from the pixs it definitely looks like you have some preovulation swelling going on, since she is proven you should be able to see the actual ovulation without any problems. Virgin females as I am sure you know generally produce smaller than average litters so the ovulation can sometimes be a little harder to spot to the untrained eye. As long as that little Motley worm is giving her the business let him and once he has stopped I would still give him two weeks in with her before I pulled him. He will let you know when he is done. The number one thing that I have learned in my 12years of reptile breeding is the animals understand whats going on far more than we do, and in many ways they tell you what is going on. Be patient and you will be rewarded. A little candle light and vino helps as well.LOL!!!
