We are pretty good about getting the due dates pretty close to the real deal even though nature throws us a few curve balls sometimes and of course it is easy to have our own errors as well. We have had a female hold out for over a month longer than expected. It was unusual but their were no intermediate sheds and nothing to really throw that number off much besides nature. The babies were freaking huge and born in july; they were bigger than our april babies right out of the sack. Hope this helps and I hope your female has the babies when she should and has no complications. Trey Schneller, Schneller Reptiles
