How long is it from prelay shed to egg laying ?

Hello,

It seems to average around 30 days or so. In our experience, we have had a female lay as soon as 25 days after the pre-lay/post-ov shed and as late as 43 days after. Just keep an eye on her...

Good luck!

My last two to lay this year came at 34 and 36 days after the shed. I hope that helps. There are a lot of bad care sheets out there that will tell you anything from a week to 60 days, so you did the best thing by coming here and asking others. I can't believe some of the information in some of the care sheets online. It's like someone with no knowledge is just making up information. I even have a book that is filled with very poor information on Ball Pythons.
