Hey guys,



I was just wondering what might be going on. My snake had an ovulation around mid April which should have put her Pre lay shed around may 14th, but I haven't seen it yet. I've read that not all snakes do a Pre lay shed all the time and I was just kind of wondering what might be going on. I'm not freaking out or anything. Just curious and wanting to learn. Could she just be cooking the eggs a little longer cause temps are a little too low for her? Or is it possible that she isn't going to this year and she's reabsorbing? Or is it possible that she just isn't going to have a prelay shed and I could still expect the eggs mid June? Also I was wondering how often does it happen that a snake does not have a prelay shed? She is still acting gravid, cold seeking, looking plump, not eating, and my male is no longer interested in her. Just seeing what you thought.



Thanks
