Late Season

[BHReptiles]

I guess I lied, said earlier that all three I was pairing this year had popped and I was done. There was one more I paired once...closer to the smaller side of things at 1550g. I figured she would not go this year and a little more size on her would give me a better clutch next year...well she rolled out 8 healthy eggs today lol

Congrats! I'm super jealous! I did have a female shed yesterday. She's been hanging out on the hot side and stopped eating about two weeks ago. She ovulated June 13th last year and her behavior told me she may go sooner this year. I may have very well missed her ovulation and she just had her pre-lay shed. I'll be keeping a close eye on her. My other female was 1900 in August and is now pushing 3100g. She's a virgin girl and in shed. She's still pounding food so I hope this shed is her pre-ovulation shed.

I asked this in another thread and I guess some of these responses are inconsistent with the votes I got there. How predictable are your females? In my other thread, nobody seemed to think that a single female could 'swing' her ovulation time more than a month. Agree or disagree?

I think it depends on the female. Out of the three females I'm breeding, two look like they are going to go. One is a virgin, one ovulated June 13th of last year. If you see my response to the quote above, you'll see that I think she may have ovulated about a month sooner. The third girl I'm breeding LAID in May of last year. I doubt she's going this year. That's really all I can give you. I think it depends on the female and their overall body condition when you beginning pairing. I just don't have the data to back up my claims just yet.

I am also having a late year. I have one clutch I just put in the incubator recently, one female due to lay soon and one female swelling from building.

Congrats! At least you've got some good things coming!
