| Right my female corn is on its 'last average' day when she is supposed to lay her eggs, just wondering if its normal for them to hold them in over the average time after the pre lay shed which she did have. Also, although their has been a nice damp laybox in her viv she seems to be out a fair amount pushing on the glass as if trying to get out? Just acting a bit dodgy to me.. Any thoughts? |

An average is made by taking lots of different values. Not all snakes will lay on the average day after the pre lay shed. I'm not experienced with breeding myself yet but I wouldn't worry just because your snake apparently hasn't been told about the average time she should lay  They do like to make us worry. |

Living creatures do not always obey exact timetables...ask any overdue woman!!
Snake are the same. Allow a few days either side of your dates before you start to worry.
Have you put a laying box in her viv? Something like an old ice-cream tub with damp moss would be fine.
I'm sure she'll have you counting eggs in no time.  |

| What do you mean? I left her for about 8 hours when I noticed her starting to lay and she didn't lay any after the last one for 2 hours.. |
