egg laying question

jscc1657 May 10, 2004 08:12 PM

Hi I can use the feed back if anyone knows.My female okeetee has gone 12 days so far after her pre laying shed and has not dropped her eggs yet.My question is how long should I let her go before I worry about her health.She is 5yrs old but I think this may be her first set of eggs.She is also in good health and is definately with eggs and she has stopped eating.She is set up with a 12x12 container with 3inchs of moist vermiculite in her cage and seems to stay in there alot except for coming out in the morning when I put her water bowl back in for 3hrs each day.Any advice from experienced breeders are appreciated.Thanks.John

I had one snake go 15 days once but my normal is 10, give her a few more days and then I would take her to a vet to check for her being egg bound.
good luck
