Pastel female giving egggs

dandjreptiles Jun 08, 2009 06:07 PM

How lond does it take for a ball to drop all her eggs . I ask cause I woke up at 7 am and found one egge and she has about 5 in her that I could count the other day. I just checked on her and still one egg but it looks as if she might be ready to drop another. So should I remove the egg or just wait to see what happens . How long should I wait?

Leave her as long as you can, at least a day. If she doesn't drop em after two days you might have a egg bound female. Most girls will lay there eggs in oh I don't know a 12 hour time frame.

I found my snake wrapped around 4 eggs, thought she was done, went to bed, and woke up to a 5th, so...
Just let her lay.
