Im the same way i have a hard time noticing ovulation. I notice the glow the last two times but this time i havent yet but she stopped eating about a month and a half ago. Typically how long after they stop eating is the ovuation or is the ovulation before they fast?

they don't eat after they ovulate.

I don't know about anyone else, but almost all of my snakes follow this pattern, they eat (I feed minimum once weekly), they refuse food for 2-3 weeks, they shed, 2 weeks later they ovulate, 2 weeks later they shed, 27 days later I have eggs. I don't know if anyone else tracks that way, but they usually shed once, then a month later shed agian, then a month later I get eggs. Like I said, I have trouble noticing ovulations, so I keep track that way.

Just when I thought I figured it out LOL!!!! Second try.

That looks like the ovulation to me. With that bend before and after the middle body, it should be a tale tale sign.

I hope I'm not wrong.

Good Luck.

Either you've got an ovulation or you started feeding footballs . . .
