    Gravid? Just shed, eggs soon?

    So most of you know this is my first breeding season, and I am positive that I have afew gravid females. Lastnite I noticed that one of the females that are gravid, shed and is glowing like crazy. I can feel lumps inside of her, how soon should I expect eggs?

    Depends when did she ovulate?

    If you know this for sure then you got 30-45 days till eggs get here. Best of luck

    Are the lumps hard or soft?

    Are you sure about the ovulation, it would have looked like she swallowed a football for a day or 2. 17 days or so after ovulation you will get a prelay shed. 30 days, give or take a few, after the shed you should see eggs.

    After she ovulates, she'll go into a shed ... after that shed start counting days ... about 30 or so later you'll get eggs in most cases.

    Hope this helps.
