I'm so excited! Pics to come as soon as she lays

Really? I'm used to palpating bladders on dogs and cats, lol But snakes to find out how many follicles? Wow, ok now is this something you do gently or rather aggressively because I counted around 6 if I'm not mistaken on my normal when she was all bulgy. I know it's late in the season but they are definately in the lock mode, if I wasn't such a dee dee dee and knew how to do the picture thingy I could post some awesome pictures I got of their locks. Thank you for the info. :salute:

So how's the female doing? She still curling and laying upside down, any eggs yet?

How exciting! I hope to be in your position in a few years :) Good luck and keep us updated! :please:

No eggs as of 5am this morning when I checked her but about half an inch from her cloaca was bulging out this morning. Im putting my money on today or tonight. :-) I wouldn't be surprised if I found eggs when I get home today.

Patience....patience....patience.....patience...............
ANTICIPATION!!!! I have no patience!!!!

Good luck with your eggs! I hate waiting!

YOUR impatient! Ha! I have a hard time waiting for my toast to be done toasting and I toast at the lowest setting! That is how impatient I am. This girl is going to drive me nuts.

Still no eggs. I know they can lay after their due date but she has adjusted her eggs twice and im just so impatient.

Wow! It's tough to wait!

We got our 3rd clutch this morning! It was about 2 days after due date... clutch 2 was about 7 days late...clutch 1 was 2-3 days late.

Clutch 2 for us was the weirdest, though. She shed 2 times before laying, after her ovy. She ended up laying 5 days after she shed. Being a newbie, that sure threw me for a loop.

Anyway, Hurry up and wait some more!
