Day 31, will she go soon??

[Nimph28]

This is a quick photo of my normal female, she's 6 years old and was paired to my mojave and spider. She had her last shed 31 days ago and I decided to take a pic and post here for you guys.

When I peaked in on her I saw her tail was looking different then yesterday. To me it looks like the eggs have dropped closer to her vent or maybe thats just me lol. We do have the incubator up and running, for a few weeks now to get everything set. The temp stays around 88.7 - 89.2 F. The humidity is taking the longest to get higher, so far it's at 88% I have egg-crate in and vermiculite with water.

Not the best pic but IMHO she is either guna poo like there is no tomorrow or lay her eggs. Good luck!

Yah sorry about the pic, I didn't want tp pull her tub out and disturb her to much. My husband knows how to check for eggs, and there is about 7 - 8 in there I am very nervous and excited since even though she's had 2 clutches already we bought her from a friend who breeds bp, this will be our first clutch here. So it does look as though her eggs have moved down they eh?

Well my gal looked like that last year a day or two before she laid so be prepared.

when they exhibit "tail suck" such as she is showing at the base of her tail then shes very close. I mark my calendar for 32 days from post ovy shed.

Quick egg tub question, the humidity is staying at 88% and doesn't seem to want to go higher. I covered the two tiny holes on top and the lid locks on tight with 2 latches. I have inside vermiculite with water under egg-crate and the humidity/temp probe on top on the egg-crate (it's the exo terra one) The egg tub is 5 1/2" tall, 8" wide and 6" deep. What do you guys think, I would like to get the humidity higher before the eggs. TIA

So far no eggs Her tail suck isn't as noticable now either. She still looks uncomfortable on the warm side of her tub in a somewhat wrapped coil. Should I just wait and see what happens over the next week or so??

Do you know if she ovulated for sure? When I have snakes that are going to lay and look like that they typically lay within a few days, so definitely be ready just in case.

As for your question about humidity in the egg tubs. I don't even measure/check the humidity in the tubs. If you are substrateless and your medium is soaked with water you'll be just fine. I put my eggs in shoebox tubs with regular lids. I don't use any press-n-seal, and I don't put holes in the tubs.

Since we're new to this we might have got the dates wrong or missed something. I decided to ask here with some better pictures I hope of our girl. The newspaper is alittle wet from moving her tub, and she likes to move her water dish around to.



Sorry for the big pics.
