I'm not an expert, but..............When was her last shed? Mine cooled her body for about 3 weeks then she shed and ovulation was witnessed about 3 weeks after her shed. She doesnt appear to be ovulating in the pics to me..............YET......but she will!! GOODLUCK! What was she bred to?

2 different snakes. Pics 1 & 3 were bred to a pastel. Pic 2 was bred to spider. Has not shed yet. This is my first breeding season and I still have a lot to learn.

They don't look like they are ovulating to me - generally when they are building their follicles they will wrap around bowls - when they ovulate they kind of stretch out in the middle of the tub to do it. Bowl wrapping is a real good sign tho - congrats!

Thanks...I hope they are preparing to ovulate. I have got my terms mixed up. Ovulation means "full of eggs" right. In my pics they are probally building folicals? Hopefully.

The term ovulation, refers to mature ova being released into the oviducts,where they are fertilized.
