Hello all. I have been a long time reader but this is my first time posting. First let me give kudos to this community for all of the assistance, support, appreciation, and just plain love that goes around on this board. It is truly awesome. I'm kind of an old timer, and unfortunately, the internet didn't exist when I bought my first ball python. Would have been nice to have a resource such as this back then. I went away from keeping snakes for a long time, but now my daughter's interest in them has rekindled my own.

Anyways, I see/read a lot about pre-lay sheds. I have also seen information by Markus Jayne where he mentions a pre-ovy shed. Can someone enlighten me a little about this. Is there a specific chronology for this as well. In other words, is there a specific number of days from pre-ovy shed until ovy?

Thanks,
