In my experience, indigos have a marked "pre-lay" shed, and then it's a good 12 to up to 24 , hair-pulling-out days (notice how Doug, Fred and I look) until they deposit the eggs.

She's is very large, and certainly looks ready to bust, but I've had them be in that state for weeks.

Did she breed in Nov / Dec?
March and April seem to be the months that captive couperi typically drop eggs. I've had females that were HUGE at x-mas time not drop eggs until March.

Good luck
