    longest a female go before laying?
    I have a female that's pushing 48 days after her prelay shed. She acts Like she wants to lay? How long have you guys had a female hold out? And when do you consider her egg bound? Thanks

    My longest was 32 days, shortest was 24 days. A few people on here have reported all the way up to 60 days!

    37 days but have heard of 45, possibly low temps in the enclosure(?) slowing the eggs down that are cooking inside of her.

    I am worried! I've never had a female go this long! I built her a Moist moss nest and gave het a 5 minute warm bath to try to help her loosen up. Any tips to get her to lay? She acts like she wants to!

    Do you know when ovulation was? The pre-lay shed isn't always a great indicator---my het lavender has opted to skip it completely the last two years.

    Can you post a picture or a video of her, showing what you mean by "looks like she wants to lay"?

    All I have on my card is a poss ovulation on 3/27 but that can't be right. Her prelay shed was 49 days ago.

    Shoot some pics of her. When they are about to lay the eggs move way down. Its possible that her last shed was preOV instead of prelay if you haven't seen a OV yet...
