Gravid Retic - When Will She Lay?

rugha Mar 14, 2007 04:52 PM

I have a 18' albino retic that bred many times, ovulated, and was due to lay(30 days from last shed) yesterday. How long after their due date is normal? When is it time to be concerned?

Thanks

WJ

has she inverted???

I have a girl going on day #43 after her pre lay shed. I can just sit and count the lumps... I've talked to some people about this, some people have had them go up to day 60, although, that's not very common... Mine hasn't been inverting completely upside either, more on her side.

I would like to hear some more opinions on this as well!

yes, she lays w/ her bottom half upside down quite often

Mine had her pre-lay on Feb. 1st and she still hasn't laid her eggs. I talked to Bob Clark the other night and he had some that shed 10 days to mine and one just laid the other night. I'm stressin big time since this is my first retic breeding.
