    33 days and still no eggs
    How many days until I should start worrying about my female being egg bound?? I have a girl who ovulated on January 23rd and had her prelay shed on February 10th. It’s now day 33 and I’m stressing out... any input would help!

    How often do they go that long? Most things I’ve read say 29-32 days and sometimes up to 50! I know they’re animals and aren’t on a set schedule but 45 days seems like a very long time

    I had a girl do two prelay sheds and go 47 days before laying. Talk about anxious.

    I wake up every morning checking for eggs like a kid on Christmas. It’s honestly mentally exhausting lol

    Yeah, Easter isn't that far off. :D Whatever the date, I just hope they're GOOD eggs! I do know what it's like to wait for these things...& then to wait for them to hatch!

    Well she is absolutely HUGE at the moment! The other day I could see atleast 6 eggs in her, so I’m hoping for a big clutch. I feel like waiting for them to hatch is going to be less stressful on me...

    I'll be here to remind you that you said that! :rofl:

    Meanwhile: May all the eggs come out naturally, may they grow into healthy BPs :snake::snake::snake::snake::snake::snake::snake: & may their 'mom' make a good recovery too. :please:

    Balls2U you can watch him on YouTube he has some great videos on when to expect your eggs as well as all the different stages of a female ball python breeding process. According to him he has been breeding a long time and it can be up to 45 days after the pre-lay shed for when she could lay eggs. So hang in there buddy!

    How much weight did your female loose? Good luck with the clutch!

    Just a follow up to this thread. The eggs were perfect through the whole incubation! It turned out the clutch was dual sired! Here are some of my favorites from the clutch! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a26041f7a4.jpg
