Eggs

[steeler]

I would try to feed her and see if she eats.

I second the "offer food" idea.

I'll offer food later & see if she takes it.

Is this common for her to ovulate & not give eggs?

[BAIIPYTHON]

This site says she will lay 44 days from ovulation. Which would be in a few days. Not sure what's going on.

I'll try feeding her after work today.

That site says this:

"

Finally ....Ovulation!

People often ask, "How do I know when my female is ovulating?" Trust me...there is no mistaking it! She looks like she has swallowed a jumbo rat. She is hard. She is miserable. And she is huge! You can see the swelling 3/4's of the way down. 44 days till eggs!


"

Which is ok with my situation. But then it says 27days from last shed. Which has past for me. It says this:

"

Pre-lay Shed

Shortly after ovulation, most females go into a pre-ovulation shed cycle. They usually shed 16 days after. From this date my females usually lay 27 days later...give or take a few days. The pre-lay shed is the best date from which to start your countdown!

She is now twisted in a pretzel again. After my posts. I'm shocked more people aren't replying. I know there are a lot of educated people on this forum that could help me here.

Got eggs!!!! How will I know when she is done laying eggs?

[Coleslaw007]

Carefully remove her from the eggs and run your fingers down the length of her, pressing gently into her abdominal cavity with your thumb resting on her back bone. You'll definitely feel an egg. If you feel one, just put her back and feel again in a couple hours.

Be sure you clean her tub very thoroughly so there's no egg scent left or she may not want to start eating again and just look for her eggs. Mine called down pretty quick. That is if you're incubating the eggs vs maternal incubation. I'm just going to assume you know what to do with the eggs and everything, so just let us know if not.

Congrats!

Congrats! I caught my first clutch being laid and I checked on her a couple of hours later to see that she was done. When she's laying, her tail will be towards the inside of her coils. Once she's done, the tail will appear on the outside of her coils. I also second the idea of running your hand down her belly when you pull her off. They look like deflated balloons or pancakes after they lay so if there is an egg left, it's VERY obvious.

So she laid 7 eggs. All look nice & white. I used a flashlight and could see tons of veins in all eggs.

I put them in the incubator and washed her off very good and put her in a new tub. She isn't coiled anymore and is drinking now.

All seems well. Here's a picture
