    Re: day 37 POS, do I worry?

    My first clutch this year went 47 days. I think you will be fine, and I wouldn't start to get concerned until she hit day 50. However, I have heard of them going to day 81 at the furthest end. That's the longest I have ever heard of.

    Randy, have you tried to palpate her, to see if you can feel any eggs or follicles in her. If that last shed was indeed her POS, you should easily be able to feel the eggs in her.

    I palped her, 99% sure I was feeeling eggs. At least 1 inch long. I averaged out at 5, though once I hit 6 and twice 4, but Idid it like 8 times and 5 was the average. This is cool. Ill get a picture as son as my camera works.

    How warm do you have the warm side of your cage? I have a friend that had his cage a little cool and the female did not lay untl day 47.
