I have females that consistantly go over 40 days before laying. My biggest girl laid on day 44 last year and day 45 this year. I've heard of others going 50 days before laying. Unfortunately the snakes don't read the same books we do.

My 20 girls that have layed thus far in 09 have dropped beteen 29-33 days. I have one girl that is on 47 days and has not coiled yet. She will certainly go 50 -- some just don't want to give them up. lol
