Eggs!!
The one day I left for the evening and my ghost laid her eggs. This marks my first clutch ever! Now the fun part... stressing over them day in and day out. She laid exactly 30 days after pre-lay shed but it was 46 days after ovulation. 2 of them are barely stuck to the rest but I was too paranoid to try to gently peel them apart, so I lifted the whole clutch as one.
6 eggs weighing 512g, no slugs, first time mom - 1160g after laying.
Huge thanks to everyone on this site! It pays to do your homework. Instead of panic, I knew exactly what to do.
1. PICS
2. Mom off the eggs, checked for more eggs, washed in lukewarm water with a few drops of dish soap, placed in a fresh tub with none of the eggy furniture
3. Eggs weighed, placed in tub, numbered
4. Off to the incubator
5. Crack a beer
I know you all clicked for this:


While I've got you guys here, please cast a vote!
I have a vacation planned for days 48, 49, 50 (home by 2pm). Move it to days 55, 56, 57? Move it to days 41, 42, 43?

Congrats! Your girl looks great.
I'd say move it a week early. Its more common for them to hatch later than the due date than earlier, you'll want to be there when they hatch.

Re: Eggs!!
What incubation temps?
I think you will be fine as is - they won't be hatching on day 50.

You're fine with your current plans. It might even help you resist the urge to cut early! Congratulations!

Temps are set to 88 but the bottom shelf sits at 86.. so I could 'slow them down' if I wanted to. I think I'll just leave my plans. I read a lot of people cutting around 50 and emerging at 55ish.
Thanks!

Re: Eggs!!
I'd wait till 55 at the minimum to cut at those temps to be honest.
I have a clutch sitting here on day 54 that were done at 88-89f and there are no pippers yet.

I have no intention to cut until the first snake pips.
Appreciate all the help over the last year and a half of preparation for this.
