breeding signs

I think I remember reading somewhere that when your adult female is laying on her side for a long time it means she is ovulating, is this true? I tried to look it up, but couldn't easily find it. by the way I got 5 more snakes in today, and I'll take pictures tonight, 13 total, with two very interesting ones.

she's not gravid, I won't breed her until she gains at least another 1/2 pound.

hmm I guess the term is follicle development, but is it still called ovulation if she doesn't get impregnated? I know humans pass unfertile eggs all the time, so I guess I stupidly assumed that snakes do too so I called it ovulation.
