Longest gestation

I have a large older female panther that was bred to a younger male 36 days ago. She exhibits the gravid coloration yet continues to eat everything offered to her and dosen't attempt any digging when put in her laying bin. Thinking that the breeding didn't take place, I introduced her to the male yesterday and she was VERY aggressive. So, maybe she is still gravid but its way past laying time - right? Has anyone had a female panther go this long or longer?
 
I had a female go for 55-56 days from showing gravid coloration until she laid eggs. On top of that, she didn't show gravid coloration until 8 or so days after she mated. So from time of mating to laying the eggs, it was 63-64 days.
