My Lesser went 59 days this year, then the eggs went 67 days.

A few years ago, I had a female go 63 days and started stressing at day 31... Never the less, she laid 8 perfect eggs and all hatched about day 55

All my females (the ones that look "pregnant" ) have gone WAAAY over 30 days this year after what I thought was a pre-lay shed...a couple have shed again and still no eggs...I am usually very accurate about predicting the egg laying date, but for some reason not this year....either I was wrong and they are not gravid or this year they are taking much longer than usual...They are still refusing to eat and behaving like they are pregnant...and THEY LOOK pregnant

Found the first clutch of the season when I got home from work (didn't check them before going to work). Five eggs, 246 grams, normal female x cinnamon male x pastel male.

glad to see the correction, I was thinking those were the smallest eggs I have heard of, but 426 makes more sense. Good luck with them.

Just had a female go 36 days which is my longest, mine have always been 28-32 days (60 clutches over the last few years).

Het Albino x Albino, 7 good eggs and 1 slug.
