does my snake look like she's ovulating?

viperbitex Dec 10, 2007 11:21 AM

Hello, I need some opinions on this. She ate a week ago. I picked her up for the first time since she ate and she weighs a ton! She also has a football buldge about half way threw her that you can see in the pic. Usually she houses her rats and the lump only stays for a few days. So I'm wondering if she's finally ovulating. She is on 04 baby, about 5 feet long, i don't know how much she weights but she's deff healthy, and she JUST shed about a week and a half ago. What do you guys think?

If you do think she's ovulating, I have a dh sun glo waiting for her. She's het albino so I'm really excited to breed them. Should I stick her in with him now, or wait for the swelling to go down first? This will be my and their's first time breeding boas so any advise is welcome!! Thank you =)

Very possible. It could also be a pre ovulation swell so I would leave the male in until he looses interest....good luck.

Did you say the male was waiting for her? You don't have to wait for a swelling to put them together, in fact, sometimes courtship instigates the female into readiness better. If she is mature enough and has good enough body mass to breed, I'd have put him in there already.
Good luck!
