Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share this pic of my female Elaphe taeniura ridleyi. She's been mating twice a week for several weeks now, and she's deep in an opaque cycle at the moment. She's also been looking very "girthy" lately. I'm assuming that she has ovulated and is now in the post-ovulation shed. I think this pic shows her increased thickness pretty well. If I hold her up with the rear third hanging down, I can see irregular "swellings" very clearly, which I assume are developing ova? All fingers crossed.
Anyway, sorry about the blurry pic, but it'll have to do.
Thanks for looking.
Simon
