114 days POS...Nothing, did I miss something?

[robertmcphee]

She had her "waxy turd" a week ago, or was it. Im not sure what the heck is going on. No babies and it has been 114 days POS. Oh well here is a Pic of her taken tonight. Am I wrong in thinking she is gravid, Im sure she is I am just beginning to get a little bit frustrated. VENTING, VENTING, o.k I feel better now.

Any Ideas? or advice.

I forgot to mention that I fed her a medium rat last night. She looked so pitiful following me around the room with her eyes. that I thought I would see if she would eat a medium rat, I tried and she did. She almost ripped my arm off she hit the rat so hard. Anyways here is another angle.

Robert,
Some females just don't play by the rules, she does look very gravid to me. It's always better to have babys a few days late than a few days early :'(

[robertmcphee]

Thanks Ed. And very good point, I would definitely rather have them a little late than early.

Robert, I guess we will have to sit and wait.Its may be possible.The number of days is off .But sit and wait its part of the game. Keep us posted

[robertmcphee]

Thanks Paul, sit and wait, sit and wait. Now that is something I am getting used to doing. LOL

Bob,Same here I just got done waiting for a clutch of red groups born last sunday.Now Im waiting for one from my Argentine boa's and a clutch of eggs from my 2 nd Breeding project of Green tree pythons Im waitinf for first vlutch to hatch now aprox hatch date march 16th.And after putting the male Emeralds with the Females a couple weeks ago it looks like I might be waiting for 2 clutches of Emeralds as well.So well into the summer I will be waiting and waiting and waiting ect.......I guess we can all hang in there together.I wish you much luck with your projects

Man you must be going looney! I hope things go well. I have to wonder about feeding her so late in the game if your ETA is correct though! If the date is right though it could cause her to push them out trying to pooh but what kind of mess will that make? Good luck and keep us posted! :'(

[PauLB]

going Looney to late. I was already there . from 10 years ago when I bred

[robertmcphee]

I only fed her because I assumed that for some reason my date was off, I figured that if she was as gravid as I thought she would refuse. So I figured I would try it, I really did not she would have any feeding response. However she did, and it was a vicious attack on that poor little thawed rat.

Thanks

Robert whats the update..... LoL You have me waiting also come on drop those babies girl friend.If your right should be any time Keep us posted

[robertmcphee]

Nothing yet as of this morning. She did move to the other side of her cage yesterday, which is a lot more than she has been doing.

[ratman]

Keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you here! :'(

Good news sounds like she is getting restless.It may be soon thanks for the update Robert.My last female did this only to drop a week or so later.So maybe the count of days is off not hard to do.Either since some times gravid is confused with ovalation.so if she did ovalate.Then it would be shortly after for her to become gravid

Get out the camera and have it handy, she should go anytime. My Caramel Pastel female had babies on 115 days wich fell on valentines day! I have a gauranteed het for albino female that is gravid right now sitting at 111 days after POS. Most of my females get very hungry and restless right before they drop. Well, good luck and pamper those babies ;D

[robertmcphee]

Thanks for all of your support. I have finally settled in for the wait. It was beginning to get to me, but now I have accepted it. Hopefully sometime this weekend. I re-read my notes on her POS and it is possible that I wrote the date down wrong (sloppy handwriting) Instead of the second of november I think I wrote down the fifth, which would have really been the sixth of november because I always check my snakes the most late at night. So long story short if it was indeed the sixth she was at 105 POS on 21. So in reality she is more than likely only at about 110 POS right now. Thanks for listening to my rambling. And I will take pics as soon as they get here.

[ratman]

Any precip in the forecast? That could be the kicker! :'(

[PauLB]
