When I said I'm not seeing the numbers, I was referring to the days after shed.
Overall, I'm DELIGHTED with my results.

The girl who laid the 22 egg clutch, laid after 7 days.
I don't see that as a problem.
I think the day counting might be missing the point.
She is a very healthy looking snake and I think her overall condition is the reason she laid a good clutch.

You're making too many assumptions:
"females who already have scared oviducts or other damaged reproductive parts is like closing the barn door after the horse runs out."
I am very happy with my results BUT WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS WHEN I DIDN'T USE FULL NESTING EITHER.
I just think the results and claims are being overstated.
I, think it has to be viewed more holistically.

If a woman is healthy she'll give birth on the floor successfully, if she isn't, no fancy four poster bed will help.

Don't jump on me for the ridiculousness of comparing snakes to women (at least in this regard I just thought it was a cute analogy
