    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok so this is my first year breeding.I have been watchin one of my normals over the last couple weeks she looked sorta po all the time. So upon picking her up today she has a nice paunch to her. That area is very hard. She has not eatin in 4 to 5 weeks but ate like a pig prior. She also has not been to hot side in awhile or at least every time I check her she is on cool side.So I am assuming she is ovulating. Should I keep my lesser paired up with her till her shed? I'll post pics later today.I hope my other females go soon. I was worried as I did not cool room or tubs. Gotta clean rat bins and all my snake tubs so its gonna be a bit.
 
The symptoms are there but you will definitely know when she's ovulating. She will explode. More than likely she is building at this point. I would continue to put the lesser in with her until you see ovulation. Good luck!
 
Here's a pic of a mojave ovulating for reference.

Looks like an ovy, I wouldn't disturb her too much at this point.

If you look back on older pics of her I bet you see that she glowing now.
 
Ok I snapped few when I took her out to clean cage.It starts right about where her head is in pic. The camera slightly picked it up but looks to be starting. My male locked up as soon as I put him in. Also one of my female pins I paired with the lesser is starting to swell as well.

Looks like you're building now, so keep pairing. As Chris said, you'll know an ovulation when you see one.
 
She dropped 5 eggs last night. All 5 stuck together put in incubator. I cleaned her up good and her bin was cleaned disenfected. Should I try to feed asap or wait week or 2.
 
I wait a day or 2 before feeding, but def not weeks. You want to get her back to food asap, so she is healthy for next year.
