30 days since pre-lay shed...

teaspoon Jul 29, 2008 08:43 AM

still waiting for eggs, and its been 30 days since her pre-lay shed. I thought it was usually 3 or 4 weeks? She'd def. gravid, she's doing all the gravid ball python things,laying-inverted, laying in a perfect coil(when she's not upside down), spine kinda sticks up, not eating(which for her is otherwise unheard of), and sooooo fat. I can even see slight lumps where the eggs are! Its her first(and my first) clutch ever. What's the longest you've had to wait for eggs after the pre-lay shed?
Well, I thought I was patient....
