long time laying

Hi,my corn laid one egg at 8.45am it is now 10.30pm and there is no sign of any others on the way.I have added another nest box with a different consistancy of vermiculite but no joy.an ideas?
Many thanks mac.

Until someone else replies with some help, give her time and leave her alone! She may be stressed.

I give my females a full 24 hours to lay their clutch before checking to see if there is a problem, mostly being egg bound.

Occasionally, a female will lay 1 or more slugs up to several days prior to laying the rest of the clutch. Is the first egg a slug or does it look fertile? If she hasn't laid any more eggs after 24 hours, check to see if she is egg bound...a very noticable egg lump will probably be seen at her vent. If so, get her a herp vet soon if possible, or try the methods of dealing with egg bound snakes outlined in Kathy's book.

There is also the slight chance that your female only had one egg to lay. I have had some very small clutches, but must admit, never just one. (Did have a clutch with only one fertile egg this year, but she also laid 5 slugs)

I did a Keyword search here, using the tab at the top of the page, and found these.
Perhaps these may help you out.
