    Longest time waited for pre lay shed?
    Typically all my females have shed roughly two weeks after ovulating, I have one girl who is showing no signs of going into shed and it's been 11 days. She has been off food for a month, and all her follicles have become very soft like water balloons. I posted the video below to help. Should I continue to wait or pair her up again?

    Thanks a lot :gj:

    The longest wait would be from raising a hatchling to adult, and then having it ovulate and then shed.:O

    This is just my first season, my my first female went 16 days from ovy to complete shed. The second went from ovy to complete shed in 17 Days.

    Edit: both are virgin girls so I have no previous history on them.

    Well first off congrats! Very exciting and I wish you the best.

    I put a male in there with her just to see what happens. I never had this happen in the past , maybe I was mistaken by a large build for a ovulation but it looked obvious to me.

    It looked pretty obvious to new, too! Maybe she's just taking a little longer.

    Thanks for the well wishes. My first clutch is due anyway! Mom is on 26 days POS. the other is on 15 days POS.

    No need to put a male back in with her. That was definitely an Ovy!
    We have had 1 or 2 females take 2.5-3 weeks before their Pre-Lay sheds so she should shed out for you soon.
    Congrats on the Ovy and good luck!

    Thank you and thanks for that info. In that situation did you still count 50 from ovulation or 30 days after shed?
