I have a gravid corn and she had her pre-lay shed last saturday night but she still hasnt laid her eggs is there any things to look for which might be a sign she will lay any time now.

The last day she has spent a lot of her time in her nest box only coming out for a little while, then she is straight back in, she seems to be getting very round.

This is our first time breeding so not sure what to look for, any help much appreciated.

Have you got an incubator ready?
That's the most important one.
Just keep an eye on her for now, if she shed last saturday(4 days ago), then i'd guess she'll lay within about a week, if it was the saurday before that(11 days ago), then she'll drop soon (ish).
All snakes differ in how they lay, but there is the ballpark figures.
There's loads of info on this site, have a look round, just remember to not rotate/turn the eggs when they're laid.
