Hallo how many days after PLS usually hondurans lay their eggs?My female is 9days after and still nothing.Im little bit confused.
Thanks.

Anywhere from three to ten days is very typical, but don't sweat it right now, they can sometimes go a bit longer too. I'm guessing things will happen soon.

BUT!....make absolutely sure she has a nice suitable box of moistened sphagnum moss, etc...to lay them in, otherwise it can stress the hell out of the snake and possibly create big problems and possible egg-binding issues.

keeping her enclosure darkened with a towel draped over it if need be too, as this helps them feel better hidden and secure for nesting.

Good luck man!

In my experience 8-14 days is normal. As Doug said, make sure you have a good laying box set up and try not to disturb her. Once she starts laying, leave her alone for at least 12 hours so you can be sure she has laid all of her eggs. Patience!

Thanx both of you.Box is good and she has her privacy of course. Here is the pict of mating two months ago.

This year most of mine are taking beyond 10 days (but less than two weeks).

So far this year I've had one lay on day 6 and one on day 7. I wonder if clutch size has anything to do with it? The one that dropped on day 6 was a 7 egg clutch, while the day 7 clutch was a 9 egger. I know they can go a lot higher than that, so maybe someone with a larger sample could provide some thoughts.

My clutches were small, and dropped shortly after the shed. So maybe your clutch is going to be HUGE!
