shes been locking up with my male since Nov!! consistently, 2-3 times a month. i had given up hope and was beginning to think one of them was infertile. But i just noticed shes a lil swollen. like nothing ive seen before. i have not witnessed ovulation yet from what ive read its a HUGE swell. maybe i missed it? how long does it last?

About a week ago she was inside her water bowl for days and now shes always coiled towards the back (the heat. also she hasnt fed in a month (last meal was a small rat)

what do you guys think?

p.s incase she is gravid im afraid she'll accidentally lay inside the water bowl. can this happen?
should i get a way smaller one?

thank you soo much in advance

I'm not experienced....
but that looks like ovulation to me....

*dunno*

Its OK if your not expeirienced. Read up as much as you can, and continue to ask about what you dont cover on text. You'll be suprized how much you learn before long. Yes she's gravid, since your not locked on dates monitor her frequently. Make sure you provide her with a nice roomy nest site with damp sphagnum moss. Get the incubator ready ahead of time. 89 degrees is perfect . Good Luck! Jesse.
