No eggs

My albino BP is 8 days past due from laying eggs. Being my 1st year of breeding I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if I'm jumping the gun or do I need to do something now? Any suggestions are welcome.

You are jumping the gun. If she is gravid, she will lay when she is ready. Can you feel the eggs? She may not have taken.

Yeah I can feel them. There's 5 from what I can feel. Her being gravid is not in question.

Patience is a virtue I don't have. I can't wait for some python eggs . Good luck zack0

Thanks man. I definitely don't like waiting. Kills me after she lays eggs you gotta wait 60 days. Like I said this is my 1st year and I'm having a lot of fun doing it and learning a lot. I have a lot of good people that I can ask questions also.

When was her last shed Zak?

**Zak** Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:31 am

Her last shed was january 20th.

That might have been post-ov shed....if she sheds again very soon, that might be your pre-lay shed! Thats what just happened to my Pastel! I figured she was due but has now gone back in to shed...probably another 25 to 30 days til laying!

Jeff you're probably right. Last time she shed was after ovulation. Feels like the eggs are starting to drop a little. I don't think its going to be a huge clutch because I only feel 4. The nice part is that lesser het. Axanthic keeps locking up with my Axanthic male. Hope to prove that out.

I definitely don't like waiting.

Just think how sweet the reward will be when she does lay, and then again when the eggs finally hatch! The best things come slowly!

I know and you are absolutely right. I can't wait until they hatch.

we found that ours (all of them) last year took 29 days after last shed to lay and hatching takes 55 days almost exactly. Hope that helps. Very Happy

It took my other ball python exactly 30 days to lay her eggs. The albino is 12 days late.

i hope shes alright. =)

Does she show any signs of being ready to shed?......I know it's a little hard to tell on an albino!

**Zak** Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:54 pm

Not that I can see. Think I should just let her be or try something else?

**Zak** Sun Mar 04, 2012 9:36 pm

I could have sworn that she has already ovulated but it appears she's doing it now. The eggs felt fully developed so I don't know what's going on.
