Late Season

Anyone else having a really late season? I'm only breeding three this year. Been pairing since October 1st - no ovulations yet. Anyone else having similar luck this year?

I will say that I have two of three that look promising. Hopefully I'll have an ovulation or two in the next month.

It's my first season I only have one girl that's showing she's going to go this year but no ovy yet still just building signs so yes pretty late season lol

As of today my season is done, I had an early run. Only bred 3 this year and the third one just popped today. All three within 14 days..from zero to done. I feel like a kid who waited in line for hours to get on a ride and then the ride was done in 20 seconds.

And I feel like that kid who's been in line for 4 hours with storms rolling in threatening to shut down the ride!

I'm so ready for someone to ovulate!

2 of my girls are running really late, breeding only 3 girls all had visible locks but so far only 1 ovy and she laid 5 eggs this morning.

My first clutch pipped last week, and the second clutch is due in about 10 days if the dam's last shed was her pre-lay shed. That's all I paired last year.

Lotsa folks I know are running late this year myself included. I am only breeding 3 this year and I am confident all will go. Just waiting now.

My first female was due on the 2nd, still nothing. Wondering if the Polar Vortex is responsible?

if you don't cool down your breeders i think there is no season,I am pairing 17 females this season from october 1 and I have only 4 females to lay eggs and one was ovy couple days ago,some of my females from last year stop locking last year in february and lay in jul so i think we have a lot of time,good luck!!

I have one girl that is due to lay any day and the other should be due in about 2 weeks. I started pairing in november, the wait is killing me lol

I've been having a late season as well. No ovys yet, but she's still glowing and not eating so im confident she will go eventually,just need patience. You have a good two months of pairing on me though.

I guess I lied, said earlier that all three I was pairing this year had popped and I was done. There was one more I paired once...closer to the smaller side of things at 1550g. I figured she would not go this year and a little more size on her would give me a better clutch next year...well she rolled out 8 healthy eggs today lol

I asked this in another thread and I guess some of these responses are inconsistent with the votes I got there. How predictable are your females? In my other thread, nobody seemed to think that a single female could 'swing' her ovulation time more than a month. Agree or disagree?

All of my females this year where virgin so I am the wrong person to weigh in on ovy swings year to year. I am really hoping the luck I have carries through to the hatchling ratios. 4 virgin clutches 34 eggs ...now all I need are the odds gods to like me for a few more months

Congrats!

I am also having a late year. I have one clutch I just put in the incubator recently, one female due to lay soon and one female swelling from building.

Congrats! I'm super jealous! I did have a female shed yesterday. She's been hanging out on the hot side and stopped eating about two weeks ago. She ovulated June 13th last year and her behavior told me she may go sooner this year. I may have very well missed her ovulation and she just had her pre-lay shed. I'll be keeping a close eye on her. My other female was 1900 in August and is now pushing 3100g. She's a virgin girl and in shed. She's still pounding food so I hope this shed is her pre-ovulation shed.

I think it depends on the female. Out of the three females I'm breeding, two look like they are going to go. One is a virgin, one ovulated June 13th of last year. If you see my response to the quote above, you'll see that I think she may have ovulated about a month sooner. The third girl I'm breeding LAID in May of last year. I doubt she's going this year. That's really all I can give you. I think it depends on the female and their overall body condition when you beginning pairing. I just don't have the data to back up my claims just yet.

I wish I had your luck, I only had one girl ready this year. Probably a dozen locks and nothing no signs of building either except she went off food two months ago. But the male ice been pairing her with is still taking anything I give him, so I'm thinking, he's locking, but not you know.. getting err done, so to speak. I gave up for now gunna try again in another six months or so with her, she's 1850 grams btw. And he's 500.

Right on time here, started having eggs in late february, 12 clutches down 10 more to go ;)

First eggs end of March and hatched this week.

6 clutches in the incubator, 2 due to lay any day (day 32 and day 35 POS), 4 more have already ovy'd and shed, 12 more girls possible to ovy, but I'd say only 8 are very likely to go.

8-10 more girls will come online this fall with no pick-ups :gj:

Sounds like you're having a very nice season! I can't wait until I have that many females breeding. A couple of more years...I think I can wait...maybe...

She's looking good! I hope she gives you 6 beautiful eggs with several nuclear spiders in there!

I'm not even breeding and I'm getting really impatient over breeders late clutches. I want the mass baby sales. I've gotta "finish" getting my base of females for when I get my house and can finally breed.

out of my three, i had an ovy early in the month, one over this past weekend, and one yesterday.

Been pairing since November 1.

Last year my one and only clutch came July 20. so this year is a littttle better than last.

regardless, i'm not complaining...just as anxious today as i will be in the fall lol..im always super anxious about my clutches, 24/7/365 lol. doesn't matter where i'm at in the season.
