thanks for the reply dave.



yeah, i wasn't sure about the shedding two months into brumation. this is the first year that i've gone big scale with breeding (well, big for me) and i hadn't had shedding during brumation before.



as for her eggs, they're picture perfect. got them set up quick and put them with the other 70 plus eggs i've got going. now i just have to wait for three more sinaloans to drop and then comes round two for my nelsoni (they dropped their first clutches in late april/early may).



i've had females lay slugs a day or so before dropping good eggs before and actually this year had a female lay a slug followed by another seven two days later. unfortunate, but a nice snack for my eastern king.





here's the female in question:
