Egg retention?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I missed the ovulation, but last year i missed to. She had a shed at 15 February, wich i tought being the pre lay shed... what else would it be? she's a big girl with 8 years so i think it was not a shed of growth.

the first egg is not close to the vent like "egg bounding"

Adult shed and it does not mean it's a pre=lay shed. Just like sometimes you will see females shed prior to an ovulation but not after (not all females are textbook) which is why I only use ovulation as a timeline.

How far is the first egg from the vent and how many eggs are there?
