Breeding/Egg Production & CareAny topics concerning breeding of the cornsnake, brumation, egg laying, or issues concerning problems in any step along the way.
Lol good job not bugging her today. Does the area near her vent look to you like it normally does? It looks to me like she's very close to depositing an egg.

I think so, and I see some scale spread near the vent. I dont think it's poop, she hasn't eaten since the 2nd, and she's pooped since then...unless she's saved some for later lmao.
She's been in and out of her nest box like 10 times today. I feel like we're entering the restless phase. It's kind of unfortunate because I'm assuming it means she's not 100% satisfied with her nest box, but hopefully it will do and she can lay within the next day or too. Get those eggs out before they get too big.
I got a decent video of her going into the next box today.
She certainly does look stuffed full of eggs. It's hard to tell much from that brief clip, but I can't see any distress other than the usual, "I cannot get comfortable." In my non-corn breeding experience, first time mothers (primiparas) are often more fidgety right before birth than are the more experienced dams. That's much more often true than not with bitches and mares. What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't necessarily take her restlessness as a sign that she'sdispleased with the nest box. She may just be displeased with internal changes. That said, of course if there's room in her viv, you could give her a second nest box. But I'm not seeing or reading anything which causes me to worry for her.
She's still in and out of the nest box, but not as much as Sunday
I did a kinda bad and checked on her yesterday but since she was at the bottom, I did remove some of the moss to be able to see, so idk if that stressed her out. But now for realsies, I'm not going to remove the moss until I'm for sure she's laid.
Next season I breed I'm definitely going to get a shorter next box
One week since her pre-egg laying shed is not unusually long. My bet she will lay within 3 days. Can’t wait to read your post announcing egg laying has occurred.
We’ll hand out cigars and pop open some champagne!
