Reay nice snake.You gotta stretch her out..its hard to tell like that. I would say no from these pics though.

thanks for the feedback,

im not sure whats not working. i have a 05 Het albino female pairing with a 06 Albino male. they started locking up on Dec.
1st. since then i say theyve bred 8-9 times. but NOTHING yet.

They go when they like. I would suggest keep pairing in order to get at least 1 lock every 2-3 weeks(fresh sperm). Some eat while they breed and some don't. I have missed a couple of ovulations this season already. You don"t always see them. Good luck.

Not an ovulation, but she could be building follicles. As I and many others have said numerous times lately-if you started introductions in December, then it is WAY too early to be getting discouraged....

I'm not an expert either, but from the looks of it I say no. It could be possible she's building folicles. Is she spending more time on the cool side. I started cooling on Nov. 1st and just saw my 2nd ovulation today. The first is due to lay in 10 days so thats a pretty good spread considering egg deposit is around 85 days after ovulation. I would continue to pair them every week for about 4 or 5 days with a couple days off until the male shows no interest in them at all. If you have multiple males I would rotate them out. Good Luck and keep us posted.
