How can you tell??

I was curious how can you tell if a female is ovulating? I have read that if you examine their bellies you can see 2 small round eggs... (not ovals) is this true? If anyone has any pictures of an ovulating females underside it would be very helpful!! :main_yes: thanks..

ps My female who is gravid had two very large and bright white eggs in her belly, now she seems a bit smaller in her "hips" and it is hard to see her eggs.. does this mean she has absorbed them... and what exactly is eggbound.. does it mean their bodies are so stressed they die before laying the eggs?? please help.. :main_huh:

eggbound...I'm not exactly sure what it means, but I know it doesn't mean they will die. It means something like their eggs are a little bigger than they are supposed to be, so you have to give them warm water soaks to help them lay them. Kinda like when they are constapated. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.
