A simple question about my gravid ball python

[Annarose15]

so do you guys think im on schedual for her laying eggs in four days im almost 100% positive it was her pre lay shed well i guess either way im going to start the incubator up again and let it run again to have it all prepped thank you for the info guys its alot of help

My first girl this year laid at 42 days post-shed, so I wouldn't rely too heavily on the calendar. Did you witness her ovulation, so that you can be sure it was her post-ovy shed?

Heh,

The one thing they forget to tell you in the books and on the sites that give the timescale is that the snake hasn't read them.

Always have the incubator set up and running for at least a week before you expect eggs in case you need to do some tweaking of the temps etc.

And keep and eye on how close to her vent the eggs are.

If she is pregnant she is likely shying away from food and has been for over a month and a half. With the lack of food and increasing egg size her spine will also poke out a bit. You may wonder why she is looking so big even though she hasn't been eating as regularly. If you are sure she is pregnant the probability of her laying in the next 4 days is very high.

My girl just went 52 days from ovulation to lay. I think an estimated week vs day is much more sensable when expecting your female to lay. I had my face pressed up against my females tub religiously..for like 25 or so days.

Some girls are like clockwork...others are a true guessing game. Get the incubator and egg tubs ready regardless cuz you just never know.
