Is she ovulating?

[lovelovelove135]

Hello! I checked if Sonny was ovulating today because she hasn't been eating as much lately (I recently said on a post that she's a piggy and I've never had a problem with her eating...I guess I jinxed that >.<). I'd drop down the superworm, she'd go after it, get ready to attack it, then decides she doesn't want to eat it and turn away. I feed her every other day, but yesterday she didn't eat. The day before, she reluctantly ate 2 large superworms. Maybe the superworms aren't stimulating enough? She's also been spending a LOT of time in the humid hide. Ever since the weather started getting really warm, she's been going in there. The hot side temps are about 89-93. The humid hide is significantly colder though. Maybe she's not getting the heat she needs, and isn't eating because of it? She's about 8 inches, but I don't know how old she is. I heard females, when ovulating, will go on a food strike. So I checked. I don't think she's ovulating, but I just need a second opinion seeing that I'm just a beginner and she's my first leo haha Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!

I felt really bad doing this >.< I couldn't flip her upside down, so I had to stick her in a small fishtank, tape the lid, have my sister hold her up, and take a pic. I'm so sorry Sonny!

I think dont think she's ovulating. Hard to tell from the pic. What youre looking for is a very noticeable pink dot usually right in the middle of her belly. People have said it looks and it about the size of a eraser tip.

Yeah, I didn't think so either. Well, she ate today! So I guess that kinda confirms it? I was just worrying because she wasn't eating as much, but today she viciously attacked 5 superworms without hesitation haha It was like she hasn't eaten in forever, and I guess that kinda is true. She absolutely hates the bowl, but I dropped the worms in there and she ate out of it...that's how hungry she was I guess xD I'm just so glad she's okay thanks for taking your time out to help me though
