day 44 from when? shed? do you know total days from last observed copulation? I have had eggs take between 80 and 120 days from last observed copulation regardless of temps to be deposited, then another on average 94 days to hatch, longest was 105 days, I have always used maternal incubation as well. (Always have had a hot spot of 90 during gestation)and several times pre egg shed meant nada. Although, I have only bred reticulatus 7 times.

44 days from pre lay shed...NO question she ovulated and is full of eggs....no sure when the last time she copulated, but it was maybe 3 months ago

well. I would think she is going to drop within 15 days from today, from last copulation. Pre egg sheds are sometimes misleading in pythons. Try not to pace too much.
