When the female BRB's ovulate where is it? I'm pretty sure i know where it happens but want to make sure.

Ron,
. When they ovulate they swell up at midbody. I watch my BRBs pretty closely during breeding season and have seen them breeding hundreds of times but have only seen obvious ovulatory lumps about a dozen times. These snakes are not nearly as obvious as other boids when ovulating.

AFAIK only once per year.

If you don't see it,don't worry, because she will show other signs(strange body positioning,decreased food drive,ect.) later.
