I'm pretty sure Orochi is in her final stages before birthing, she has gotten more restless and I'm fairly sure I saw her move them down to her tail area.
Anyway how long does the birthing itself take generally?
That varies between snakes. Some get it all done in an hour or less and other can take all day. I've had it both ways here on the Ranch. I'd say average for mine is a couple hours.
I've seen it take days from the time the shift happens. I've also seen them drop them in minutes with no warning at all. The restlessness is a sign it's going to be very soon. But really, your question is like asking how long humans labor before the birth happens. As you know, it varies widely.
From now on, I'll treat others like they treat me. Some will be glad, others should be scared
