How long after the "waxy turd" does parturition occur for all of you....

robertmcphee Feb 18, 2004 08:35 AM

My female is 108 days POS and loast night she passed her "waxy turd". This is the first time she has passed any fecal material in a couple of months. This leads me to assume that parturition is coming.

I was just wondering what everyone elses experiences were as far as the length of time between "waxy turd" and parturition.

THanks

I have been told by other breeders within 24 hrs. however that drove me nuts, because all my snakes took between 36 and 78 hrs. I guess it varies a bit. Good luck on the early babies, I will not get my first litter until the end of april, and I am still waiting for a few to ovulate. Craig
