Is this a good sign?

Its soon time!
I witnessed her ovulation then pre lay shed. Its been exactly 4 weeks since her shed and she's looking ready to pop?
Exciting!
She's been in these awkward positions for about 24 hours now. How long do you think she's got till she lays?

They will be fine for a few hours, they just might stick together. I would have a couple of different sized tubs available so you don't have to try to separate the eggs.

They can be left with the mother the entire time if your temps are right. I dont recommend it personally... But just saying.

Hours are nothing, they will be fine for a couple days even. Just the other day i had a female laying when i woke up to go to work. I knew she wasnt done so i just left her and came home 10 hours to her around 8 eggs. Yes they were stuck together by then but that makes no difference.

Ive even gone away for a weekend and come back to eggs that eventually hatched perfectly!

Why would I be feaking out? Its bloody nerve racking picking the eggs up and moving them into the container without turning or dropping them lol.
Candled them earlier and looks like 7 of the 8 have veins

Gosh she looks SO uncomfortable in that first photo. Glad she finally laid for you!

Just to clarify what someone said earlier in the thread, the eggs will be fine for a few hours or days or even the entire incubation period as long as the temps AND humidity are in the right range. As I understand it (I don't have personal experience) the mother can control the temps and humidity somewhat by coiling more or less tightly around the eggs, but if the tub is, for example, way too dry, she really can't create enough humidity out of nowhere to keep the eggs healthy.
