24+ hour ovulation or...? *PICS*

[emroul]

Ok, yesterday morning (around 10am) I noticed one of my female BP's had gotten considerably LARGER in her mid-section. So, I figured it was ovulation. But now, 30 hours later, she is still huge. She has actually swollen up a bit more than she was yesterday. Do you think yesterday her follicles were just enlarging, and today is the actual ovulation? I wish I could have grabbed pictures of her yesterday, but I didn't have any time. So, I grabbed some of her just now. The first picture was her about three days ago, and the last three are of her tonight (going through what I believe to be ovulation):

In those pictures, it is ovulation, right? I have been waiting for ovulation for the past few weeks, so I would think that's what this is (and just for the records, she hasn't eaten anything since mid-February).

So, why would she be going this long? What I saw yesterday, was that just her follicles enlarging, or "getting ready" for ovulation? Also, she is hugging the warm side which is right at 90 degrees. Is that normal? This particular female usually stays around the middle-cool side of her cage. Do "gravid" females usually stay around the warm side?

Thanks,
