Can't really tell from those pics! Add to that, their ability to retain sperm and it really muddies the waters! Watch for ovulation and or unusual posturing: lying sideways, upside down etc.

I'd venture to guess probably not - but she's not one of mine and I'm not there observing her actions and changes.

Check this out: MJ Breeding page see if or where her actions coincide with the signs and stages breeding.

IMO - if you haven't unobserved ovulation by now - feed her up and get her ready for next season.

Good luck!

"In the beginning Bob created the Ball Python market. And the market was without morph, and wild traits were upon the industry. And Bob said, Let there be morph, and there was morph. And Bob saw the morph, that it was good; and Bob divided the morph from the wild trait. And Bob called the morph Albino, and the wild trait Normal. And the Albino and the Heterozygous Albino were the first investment.
