Check out her thread called "Finally!"

My theory is that with the very first clutch you gotta play things by ear! The main thing'll be humidity for the eggs, and I have no idea when or if Ma-tsu will lay... she did just shed tho! Didn't your LRs lock up pretty recently? You might still have some time before the pre-lay shed, I'm not sure.

Well, Sheree, they have been constantly lockin up for the last month or two, I'll have to check my record book for the first "witnessed" lock up date......I however am in the same boat as you!!! I have experience breeding balls, but not colubrids!!! You would think that breeding them would be easier than BPs.......my friends had a pair of corns that would produce all the time...double clutch too!! I am spazin right now.....Starscream shed three days ago!!!

Ok....she shed like two days ago......should I be freakin out now??? Time to fire up the incubator??? She doesn't look "plump", but this would be her first clutch, so it may be small. Thanks for the great info Joe...I don't care what anyone says...I still give ya 5*s......

Ok one question for you though.When was her last normal shed? Since you said the last feeding was her first time refusing to eat this shed might be a normal shed.I would still keep a eye on her just in case.Do not handle the eggs to much when she does lay them,once you take them and place them in the incubator try not to move them until they start to hatch.Corn snake eggs are not durable like ball python eggs.Just because she is small do not be surprised how many eggs she will lay .I am still trying to figure out where my snow female kept these 14 eggs inside of her .Yes i would get the incubator set at 80 now so when she drops them you are well prepared.

I have looked in my record book, and It seems as though the last shed I recorded for her was the first week in May, also when I started witnessing a "lotta lockups" lol
