Some are easier than others. While half of their body is hanging of the tub, it helps to use your thumb to press down and flatten them out a little. Eggs should feel obvious and roll on your finger tips. If you cant get them to relax you'll only feel muscle.

Guess I would feel better with a little company! :P

don't feel bad my first year too i still have them locking up but thats about it but good luck if they locked up for you it seems like you should get something
Re: Who has NOT gotten eggs yet?
This is our first year of intentionally allowing snake lovings to occur. We have two normal girls with follicles, but no ovulations yet. Still, the incubator is all set up and temps are holding at 88.4 and 99% humidity inside the egg boxes. Think I should bump it up another degree?
Re: Who has NOT gotten eggs yet?
I am waiting on my first clutch of the season to be laid, and it should be any day now.
(Maybe today will be my lucky day.)
So far, I have had 9 ov's that I am aware of, and 4 pre lay sheds.
The females that have taken already are the ones that I was hoping would the most, and the rest are still doing their thing.
