    I bred my female Albino to a Pied this year. Everything has been going pretty good. She ovulated on 4/13 and had her Post Ovy Shed on 5/1. I am anticipating eggs around the first week of June give or take. When I hold her up I can literally count the eggs. Well this past weekend she looked like she was going to shed again and on 5/30 she completed a second shed.

    So is it normal for a snake to shed twice between her ovy date and prior to laying? Do I restart the 30 day counter from the second shed? :confused:

    You may have mistaken building for an ovulation. I'm not sure how many ovulations you've seen but many new breeders make this mistake. I did my first year breeding.

    If you are sure it was an ovulation...

    I had that happen twice and got slugs about a week after the second shed. I then had a female do it last year and was bummed that I'd get slugs again. I talked to several breeders I know and they had good clutches when this happened. About a week later I got a good clutch of eggs. I guess the first two may have been flukes. Good luck!

    I never thought about possibly missing the ovy. This is only my second year breeding so it is possible that it was just building. At least I hope so. My first thought was all slugs so I guess time will tell. Thanks for the responses.
