Now I am EXCITED!!! (pic's)

Joel_Thomas Mar 08, 2009 02:08 PM

Finally she quit messing with my head!

This is the first ovulation I have had in six years, since returning to the hobby I have had a blast and now I will cross my fingers and hope all goes right as this is my most anticipated litter.

I know there have been a lot of pic's of her the last few days, I take them for my own reference and figure I may as well share them.

Oops, forgot the post ovulation shed...then the waiting. It's all kind of a waiting game after the ovulation swell...

And what I've seen of your snakes I'm sure the male is just as nice. Fingers crossed for good results, and I hope I have the willpower to resist!

Be well

Congratulations on what looks like a promising litter in the near future.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Joel_Thomas Mar 09, 2009 10:29 AM

Now the wait to see if he did the job, thanks Amer.

Joel

Jonathan_Brady Mar 09, 2009 06:08 AM

If it hasn't been said already, be sure to keep your male in there until you see her going into shed! You always want to be 100% sure!

Good luck with that litter, I'm sure it'll be rockin!

I made that mistake years ago with some BCI, I had several girls that ovulated and I pulled the males cranked up the heat and got nothing but slugs. I know the males were proven, I only assume that I pulled them too soon.

Thanks JB I welcome all advice.

can't wait to see those PEAKS. I am almost as excited as you. I'm getting worn out over here trying to interpret the "swells"

Joel_Thomas Mar 09, 2009 10:37 AM

This girl really had me spinning in circles, this is the first ovulation that I have witnessed in my BCC and I still say it was not as big as the ones my BCI gals showed.

I think you were right we need to follow Rob's advice and take up some new hobbies during this time of year.

Thanks, I think there will be some awesome peaks if she produces.

Joel
