Is this normal?

My female albino is on day 113 POS and still no babies. My question is, should he bulge still be this high up? Shouldn't the babies have dropped further down by now? My other female that gave me 28 babies last year never really left her coil so I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with her. Below are my records so far with her. Anyway, let me know your opinions and I thank you in advance. The wait continues.

Never fear trouble maker. Your female is fine and I predict is going to give you one fantastic litter when she is good and ready. Until then may I suggest that you worry yourself sick as you deserve it! Trouble maker! LOL

Seriously looks great! Not to far up. She will move them down when she is ready. Did she have an intermediate shed by chance? If so, what date?

Hey Jeff thanks for the reply. If I didn't make trouble for you on occasion....who will? haha. She didn't have any other sheds other than right after the male introduction and on Feb 21st. So the wait continues, she's driving me nuts!! I'm glad you think she's going to give me a good litter....I'm holding you to that!! Thanks again.

Darren.

they drive you nuts don't they? I know mine do. I've got a girl on 124 days POS... her mass has moved down but it's been 'down' for over a week now. silly boas.

Anyways, your girl looks good, and hugely full of babies. Good luck!!

Hey April.

124 days huh? ugh! I can't take it anymore. haha. I've been waiting on this girl for 4 years already. Not a very exciting litter compared to what's out there, but I've been wanting to produce my own sunglows for some time now. I'll update when she FINALLY delivers. Take care.
