>>> " Now for you date and POS issue. This is actually very common. In fact another fellow made a post similar to this about a week ago believing an animal to be way past due. The fact is that many people prematurely identify their females as gravid though they have only swollen due to the development of egg follicles, but they are not gravid yet. This happens to people all the time. I get the calls from them all the time about their overdue Boa. When they have kept good records of all sheds, they invariably can identify the next shed date and counting from that date, identify a new actual due date. It's a surprise to them often that they actually do still have the babies but on this later date. "

I actually have great set of pictures from my '03 Pastel Dream fem het Albino
that illustrates this exact scenario Jeff is talking about Pre Ov swelling
this all took place this season

She has Huge Pre Ov swelling that occurred for several weeks.
I almost gave up and yanked the male but stuck it out
She finally had a huge ovulation,I'm just not confident the ovum
were properly fertilized by the '04 CBLT Ronne Albino male
