    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.

    At least you're breeding this year, I'm sure it'll turn out alright for you :) It's just killing me seeing everyone able to breed. It will probably be a year or two until I see my first clutch.

    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?

    My first clutch didn't drop till the end of Apr. last season and looks likes it going to be the same this year.

    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.
