A math formula I suppose.

I wasn't sure what thread this would fit in, but it's related to ball python breeding somewhat. How do you count days. So, say I wanted to count 55 days without going over each day. How would I do that?

Not exactly sure if this is what you mean but, count 8 weeks and subtract 1 day. (8x7=56 56-1=55)

Stop counting at 54 days 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds?

Curious, what does 55 days have to do with ball python breeding?

Just guessing that the op is asking about 55 days for avg. incubation period.

Ya that's why. I could've said 52 days for minimum or 60 for the usual max but it was just a rough number. But what I mean is how do you figure out the specific date

There is no specific date, they are ready when they are ready.
52 days until a head pips is my normal but I have had pippers at 51 days and at 56 days and everything in between.

Go two months forward and count down 5 days ??? That's what I do, but I count back to 52 days.

So counting 2 months then going back 5 days works out as 52 days???

Count the days on your calendar out?
Or just do it by weeks, every week is obviously 7 days...

I use a date calculator on the Internet. Enter the date the eggs were laid plus 55 days.

Ugh....coming from someone who SUCKS at math: This is making my head hurt :what:

Good luck on your clutch!

O I just made my own formula. I should be a mathametician, but I'm only 14. Depending on the month and date you add either 30 or 31 if the month is 30 days or 31 days. Then, you just add the rest to the next month. So June 6 in 52 days is July 28. You can count 'til ur blue in the face lol.

Actually my first clutch will be next year with albino x h. Albino. I just have a lot of anxiety. I really wanna do it right.

Well you have plenty of time to prepare between now and then! :gj: I am the same tho I have to know as much as possible even if I have read the same thing thats been said many different ways. I spend a lot of time on this forum and asking questions (some of them I think 'why did i ask that?' after i post them but thats a noob for ya....). You will learn a lot here.

Code:

---

leftover = 52 - (#ofdaysthismonth - tomorrowsdate)

 if(leftover <= #ofdaysnextmonth){
  *day52* = *nextmonth* + *leftover*
 }else{
  *day52* = *monthafternext* + (*leftover* - *#ofdaysnextmonth*)
 }

---

Code:

---

Example:
June 6th
leftover = 52-(31-7)....52-24
leftover = 28

 if(28 <= 31)yep{
  *day52* = July + 28
 }

Example:
June 27
leftover = 52-(31-28)....52-3
leftover = 49

 if(49 <= 31)nope{
 }else{
  *day52* = August + (49 - 31)
  *day52* = August + 18
 }

:D

I love using wolframalpha.com. It is a computational search engine. You can type into the search bar "56 days after last friday"(or really anything) and it will tell you the day, month, year, tell you how many days from now, what holidays on that day, sunrise, sunset.....

H = Hatch date

Duh...

Uh I appreciate it but I'll work my homemade method lol. Thanks

I just figure 2 months, and start watching them a week before they're due. It doesn't have to be that exact. I have had hatchlings appear as early as 51 days, and as late as 63 days.
They don't care about scheduling. :D

My first clutch this year hatched on day 53. The second just starting pipping, and it's 58 days. The third clutch, began pipping as well today, and it's at 56 days. All three were incubated at the same temperature. :)
