Need some assistance with this

My female ball python shed
11/17, 1/12, 2/28, and 4/5

-She stopped eating in March
-locked with male for 33hr April 2-3rd

  • I think it was the 2nd week of March she made a den and pretty much was in it 24/7 up until around 13 days ago

Didn’t have her from 2/3-3/19 because my friend was going to watch her and watch over the whole process for me but life happened and got her back. Friend said she ovulated feb 12th but I can’t be 100% sure because I can’t see it thru the picture. Friend said she should have layed the end of March or the beginning of April

Today April 22nd she was bowl wrapping. I am unsure if I missed anything. Does anyone have any ideas or opinions.


Females that have ovulated actively heat seek. The behaviour you are describing sounds more like she is still building to me, which would indicate she still has not ovulated. Unless you saw the ov yourself, I would not count it, especially given the animal shed on 4/5

I agree. She seems to be building.

The ovulation your friend saw could have been gas buildup while digesting a meal. It can be pretty drastic sometimes. I had a female who laid eggs and got gassy a couple weeks later. She was looking like she was full of eggs again until a warm soak coaxed it out and became a Jacuzzi
