Great looking snake! [emoji106]

I can feel four eggs in my pulcher. She wouldn't eat this week (which is very unlike her) so it shouldn't be long. I've read that Oreocryptophis don't always lay the typical 7-14 days after a shed. I've heard that they can lay the day after a shed, during or before a shed. What has been your experience with your coxi?

Awesome!!

Let's see, Serenity's first clutch, she shed 3/30/14 and laid 4/12/14. Second clutch she shed 6/27/14 and laid 7/5/14. Apparently I forgot to log in her pre-lay shed for this year's first clutch but I remember there was quite a bit of time between it and laying, probably somewhere between 11 and 15 days. They also don't go into shed as soon after laying as the corns do, it can be 2 to 3 weeks after laying for them to go opaque.
The corns tend to go blue within 5 days after laying.
But Serenity has always shed before laying.

Great...thanks for the info!

Did your female lay, Chris?

Pre-lay shed was on 4/20. Should be any day. (fingers crossed)

Fingers crossed ...

It's going to be a long night :)
Of course she ignored the nesting box I put in there for her and decided to start laying under a terra cotta saucer she likes to hide under.
The first one out looks good.

Yay!!! Go little momma!

I had to leave for work early this morning but she layed 4 good looking eggs and had one left to go. My wife is going to check on it when she gets home. I guess five is a pretty respectable clutch for Oreocryptophis....especially considering the size of the eggs.
