Would like opinions on this one. She was bred multiple times by proven male and is proven herself. Was bred March 16 the first time and then several times thereafter. Had what I thought should have been her pre-lay shed May 3rd, and still no eggs. What do you think?

Has she stopped eating? If she is gravid she should lay any day now. Every animal is different so you can't really expect a text book laying time. Some go 2-2.5 weeks of gestation after shedding. Some only go 10 days. I would just keep treating her as if she was gravid and see what happens. If you don't have any eggs in a week, try again.

Its hard to tell, but she does look gravid to me. A bit skinnier than most, but mine is like that this year, too.

Thanks for looking. She has always been a small snake. She is a 97 female and has never gotten much over about 3 1/2 feet. Bought her in Orlando in either 98 or 99 cant remember. Got her from Serpenco. She has never not laid eggs yet, but only has about 8-9 at a time. Again thanks for all the opinions.
