This ovulation was REALLY hard to get a good picture of (hence my mad wicked MS Paint skills). I think she peaked size-wise around 6 a.m. I was sleeping.

You can actually palp each egg on a gravid snake? Any indications as to weather they're good or not before she lays?

hard to tell a slug from an egg most of the time.

Yeah, I start palpating each season around February and am pretty accurate (within one egg) on 90% of my clutches. As for feeling the viability of eggs during palpating; not so easy.
