Does this look like an ovulation?

Havn't seen any scale seperation but the midsection looks a little big doesnt it? I'm not too experianced yet but this looks like it might be it, I've been breeding her for quite some time now and this is the first sign of anything I've seen. I attached a few pics of the pair, I dont think hes axanthic but I'm trying to prove out whatever is going on with that color.

for me its a bit hard to tell cody, wait a ouple days, and if it grows, its a ovulation

looks like its at a EARLY stage of ovulation IMO.

for me its a bit hard to tell cody, wait a couple days, and if it gets bigger, its a ovulation

looks like its at a EARLY stage of ovulation IMO

Okay, thanks Javi! I'll deffenitly wait a few days and keep posting on this thread if anything changes! Good luck with that bee!

It IS hard to tell in that pic, but I wouldn't solely base it upon whether or not it grows. It could be the END of ovulation, too. Of the few girls that I was able to witness full ovulation (out of 18 clutches), it never lasted more than 36-48 hours TOPS (again, based on what I actually witnessed).

Watch her for the next week or so and see if she starts turning the lower 2/3 of her body, wrapping her water bowl and refusing to eat. None of those mean anything definite, but they are all good signs!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!

The only thing with that is that she was locked with the male last night and this morning, so if anything I think it would be the begining

Not to me, but I'm negative that way.

If they were still locked, I would NOT separate them! Granted, I ended up leaving 2 different males with 2 different females until each female laid her eggs, but I made sure that he got the job done!! LOL I guess I took Deb's approach and didn't want to assume the best. I preferred to "make sure". Might not have been the most scientific approach, but out of 20 girls bred, I'm ending up with 18, possibly 19 (still a chance on # 19!!) clutches....hence my advice to leave them together until you are SURE!!

Not to me either, but maybe a few days away sometimes right before they ovulate it looks like a small ovulation

It doesn't look like an ovulation to me either.
