Often females will drink copious amounts of watter before and durring ovulation; if that is a recent photo it apears to me that she is ovulating. Good luck on the upcomming clutch.If you have any more questiuns feal free to check out our fourm at www.constrictorsnw.com.

I think if she were ovulating, the male wouldn't be showing interest in her. They do swell up though, and yes I've seen plenty of water being drunk/drank during the breeding times. Keep the water fresh. It's hard to do that without disturbing them I know. Nice looking pair.
