Still no eggs- when should I admit defeat?

I just can't figure it out- she's off her food, put on weight, VERY grumpy, spends all day in her egg box, but she shed 2 weeks ago and still nothing happening? Advice please.

thats a hard choice! when did she stop eating? keep watching her weight, keep an eye on her bulge, it should start to move towards her tail the further on she is. I think you have a gravid snake, so its worth waiting for a while longer! Its possible that the shed wasnt the pre lay.

She stopped eating about 3 and a half weeks ago, which is definitely unusual for her as she had never refused feed before.

Do you have any decent pics of gravid corns that would help me to figure it out? I have the new viv all kitted out and ready for her, but I don't want to risk moving her just in case she is gravid, and she is then going to get all stressed and do something silly.

I dont have any pics am afraid, but what i can say is, if you hold her like you were in the pic you put up, with her tail angled downwards, you should be able to see the eggs sitting in her belly, if you cant, then she prob isnt far enough along, it can be hard to see sometimes though, so look carefully! As the eggs move downwards, you will be able to see them more clearly.
To be honest, if she is still early on, then keep putting her to the male and see what happens, you might still get them locked and it will increase your chances, might help with double clutching too, which as she is a good size, you stand a good chance of, so be ready for that too, usually happens about the time the eggs are hatching.

Got her out earlier, she is definitely alot heavier looking down the bottom half, and when looking at her side on I could kinda see bumps- not big ones though. Maybe the first shed was a practice lol.

Ha ha, I did that too! And will probably do it every time! Sounds like just a normal shed, she will prob go blue again in a week or so, but everything sounds very positive. I think you are onto a winner!
