burmmania Dec 28, 2006 12:29 PM

I already posted in the burm forum but nobody is answering and im getting a little impatient. lol. I was wondering what the ovulation period is in burms....I believe its 30 days in ball pythons, but am curious what it is for burms? Thanks to anyone who responds and sorry for abusing the response turn around time in the ball python forum. lol

they breed anytime and can store sperm anytime for any period of time they like to.......the days from ovulation is?? 40....45?....it's 30 from shed till laying......not sure from ovulation to laying or shedding.I never pay attention....they lay when they want...the "period of ovulation" itself is 1 day?.........(notice I don't pay attention to this either.)....ovulation is when the ovum drop from the ovaries into the oviduct and get fertilized (or not) with sperm if present and then line up to get shells put on them .........they drop and fertilize in a day (?...2...?..)....

......I'd refer to Barker's book but I have to go get glasses in order to actually be able to read it.. ....seriously........getting too old here.........
