Anyone think this girl is building to an ovulation right now? She hasn’t eaten since October 31st, just shed and is now looking all “lumpy”. 6 weeks until ovulation??

Hard to tell by a picture on a building ovulation. She hasn’t eaten in 2 weeks but she just shed so she could have not eaten for that reason. Is she showing any other signs of building? Cool sealing/bowl wrapping?
I also don’t know what the 6 week thing is. I have had them miss a meal for two weeks straight, then ovy, and I’ve had them miss a month of eating before an ovy. Maybe 6 weeks is a guess for you?
They typically don’t look “lumpy” prior to ovulation because they follicles are not large enough to create a lumpy look until after ovulation and the eggs are becoming good size.

I’m going off the “lumpy” look from Marcus Jayne’s write up on breeding along with the 6 week idea. The only time I’ve caught her cool seeking was last night but she wasn’t bowl wrapping. She’s had 3 confirmed locks since August. She will also eat whether she’s in she’d or not, she’s my most furious eater. I try palpating her but I’m not great at it and can almost certainly feel follicles the size of marbles
Lol 
That’s me!
But I am not lumpy, that is what I nicknamed my boy Marshmallow named Jersey.

Doesn’t necessarily mean she is gravid or will be gravid. I don’t think your snake is gravid personally she isn’t giving any indication she is even building follicles by what you have said. Also even the best eaters can and will go without eating definitely not automatic indication of building or being gravid. Also if you have been pairing her since August i would stop and give her a while before I started attempting again.
