    because she laid an egg! well, it's actually a slug i'm pretty positive. but FINALLY, she is laying. somebody cross their fingers that something fertile comes out?

    I'm sure they go through stages that are similar, but not quite the same, as mammalian labor. At least, it certainly looks it when you see the behavioral changes leading up to finally laying the eggs.

    Glad she's finally started laying for you. ;) Oh and don't be surprised if she doesn't lay all at once. There have been several threads on here where females lay one or two eggs or slugs and then the rest are laid a day or so later.

    Congrats!

    3 good eggs, 2 slugs! will post photos soon.

    HOLY MOTHER these ones are MUCH bigger than our Albino's eggs last year.

    they're in with momma snake right now, we're going to transfer them into the incubator tomorrow morning just to make sure she is finished.

    one of the eggs has a small portion that's looking sort of yellow-y and remaining see-thru, hopefully it's still good.
