Those of you who have bred panthers what’s your average gestation time? I’m used to my veileds dropping eggs right around 3 weeks 19-21 but my panther female is going on 4 weeks and I know she’s holding eggs. Thing is she’s healthy as can be, eating & drinking just fine. (once again my veileds never do this??) What’s your experiences with your gravid panthers? I think one problem was right after breeding the temperatures dropped and it was much cooler a little for about a week and I think it slowed down the egg development.
Thanks, anyone and everyone for the info you give.

My female took 29 days so I would not be worried. She acted pretty normal as well except she did lighten up on her eating the last few days before she ate. My female also dug quite a few holes before she finally laid them. I guess after she finally found a good spot she went for it and within a few hours I had 29 eggs! Everything sounds like it's going all well and good to me. Good Luck!

thanks i was just wondering shes going on day 23 or 24 i think? It just through me off after all the gravid veileds I dealt with.

Each of me females panthers has been different. Temperature and diet may be factors. The longest I waited was 37 days for one to lay. Even time to hatching seems inconsistent, 8 months for one clutch and 12-13 months (not all hatched at same time) for another clutch. I'm pretty sure the delay was my fault though, as I had to move house during incubation and I think the temperature was low for a while.
