I have a quick question. I was curious what the average time span between copulation and the actual laying of eggs. I have a female corn and I have paired her with her mate 3 times already, and they start to court one another everytime I put them together, I have not witnessed copulation cuz I leave the room so that I dont interupt anything. Come back a day later and separate them. I know the female will shed 7-10 days before she lays, but say they mated yesterday, the 1st of May, how long till I can predict her shed before she lays eggs? a week? Month? 90 days? She has her choice of egg laying boxes. Please someone give me a ballpark range.
CHEERS!! Josh

Six weeks is probably the average time between successful breeding and actual egglaying. There are variables, of course. Temperature is one. Also, how does one know if a breeding is successful?

One of the best traits of a snake breeder to have is patience.

I don't think it is just the best trait, but a REQUIRED one! lol.
I love that zigzag, BTW. Looks like it just downed a huge meal, too! Brings the zigzag out more. Very nice.
