I have a gravid female honduran who's 12 past her pre egg laying shed. she laid a slug 3 days past her shed and I was hoping for some good eggs around day 10 but they never came.
is 12 days too long ? at what time should I start to worry about egg binding or egg reabsorbtion?
thanks chris

Toppy,
Give her a couple more days.I have had them go as long as 15 or 16 but I have had some go as fast as four?Thats why 10 days is a average.
Anyways,Once they have had there pre-lay shed there is no way they will re absorbe them.She will either lay them or she can't.
If she is restless give her a fresh lay box and cover her cage to make it dark?Sounds funny but has worked for me.
I had a cal king a couple years ago that just wouldn't lay?After about day 22 I moved her from the top of the rack to the bottom of the rack and covered her cage so it was very dark and with a new fresh lay box she laid that afternoon and all the eggs were fine.
