Been keeping a close eye on my number one girl, she's acting like getting ready to ovulate or lay, what do you think???

90% i have not missed ovulation, also she is starting to look like heading for a shed cycle, if she does ovulate the timiong for shedding probably perfect.

I can get along side that Mike, not sure I'd fancy annoying a stroppy pregnant woman either, I know, I was one once Laughing

I've caught one of mine doing that as well, she was also hugging her water bowl for the better part of a week, and she's looking very chunky. I have been checking her over, but I may have missed ovulation with her, or there may be nothing to it in my case, she's certainly liking the male alot at the moment, and has started eating again, I may get brave and have a bash at palpating, the practice will do me good, not sure she'll have the same opinion though Laughing

I was just wondering about her being pinkish on her belly, usually white, but she is dulling so could be getting ready to shed, all the same any thoughts appreciated.

i would say she is going to shed. the belly colour points to that.

I thought shed as well by her belly colour, mine tend to do that. I'll let you know about the palpating, it could be interesting Very Happy

I need to work on the website again things change so quickly here Laughing How many snakes have you got Mike?
