Question about Gravid female? Please reply

KanesKreatures Jul 15, 2005 06:47 AM

My 66% het albino female is gravid. She had her pre lay shed on 5/25, and still has not laid yet. Is it common for females to go longer than 30-35 day? I have never had any of my other females do this before. Should I be concerned?

Thanks, Des

Hmmmm. In that case, just sit and wait. You have counted since the shed but does it time right with the ovulation? Also, development may be off if temps were off. But for sure, keep us posted.

My girl laid 37 days post-post-ov-shed. However she shed like a week to 10 days after ovulation so she still actually laid within 50 days of ovulation. (My numbers may be a bit off but you get the picture). Good luck with your clutch - they'll probably be here any day now!!!!
