4 Days Late Now...Annoying

Day 34 has come and no eggs yet. And tomorrow is the due date for another girl to lay. I am gonna laugh if the one that's supposed to lay later gives me eggs first.

So, in case you haven't figured it out yet, there is really no such thing as a "due date" with BPs. I'm just ecstatic if mine lay in the same WEEK as said "due-ness"! :rolleye2:

I've had girls lay befor or after there supposed date to lay I'm gonn say 50% actually lay on the date I just had my first baby of the season come out today as he's only on day 54 so when they are ready to lay or come out they will there's no pushing the time frame

Wait till one of your female is 23 days late ;)

I know we were supposed to have eggs the same day! I got mine yesterday, I'll send some egg juju your way!

My first clutch went day 45 past prelay shed..patience is the most valuable thing, we as snake breeders can possess

Ugh! Ok I am glad I am not the only one. I am starting to question my sanity when I saw one of mine ovulate... It has been 2 months since ovulation and still no eggs!

Both of my females were due today, one looks like she is about to take a giant crap, but hasn't fed in 8-9 weeks. The other girl I think is going to only give me 3-4 good eggs, and the rest slugs. You can see the dimpling in her belly if you hold her up, and I can only count for sure 3 bumps, maybe a 4th one.

Patience is my weak point when it comes to this stuff, I drive myself crazy. I need to learn to leave them be and let nature be nature.

Patience is Key

I don't even have my first clutch yet and some breeders are already hatching out babies. :confused:

This happened to me.

The girl who ovulated and shed first I'm still waiting on.

The last girl to ovy and shed laid her's last saturday.

Did you give her a laying nest?

The first girl that layed for me this year went 14 days over "due date".

Well, today is my other girls due date and she hasn't laid either. I guess to heck with the 30 day rule. LOL! My first girl looks so uncomfortable. Every time I look at her she's in a different position.

:d

30 days is not a "rule", it's a guideline.

Darn ball pythons just test our patience, right? I think the toughest part of it is all the anticipation of what might be brewing!

This season is killing me! We haven't even had the first ovy yet! It's close, though. Albino X Spark should have ovy within the next week or so. Then the YB X Spark shortly after that. But that means I won't hatch babies until August at the soonest!!!!! AAAARRRGGGHHH!!! This wait is killing me! I can't wait to produce a PUMA!!!

Anyway, hang in there. Go fishing while you wait. Dream good dreams of healthy little morph hatchlings! Good luck!

I have found in my experience that the 30 days is average but if cage temps are a bit lower it can take longer. Also if they lay early it is usually because there are slugs.:snake:
