Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me, i'm abit of a wreck. My female started laying her eggs 3 days ago, she'a been left alone other than to remove the eggs to put them in an incubator but i've noticed she still hasn't finished laying i can see about 3 more bumps inside her. I've been told to leave it a week then if there's no improvement i should get her to a vet. How can i stop her getting egg bound? Also what's the chances she would've eaten them as they'd be no good? Thanks Shiv
hi i think the addvice you have been given sounds good, i have read somthing about reports from a kathy love book todo with the possiblity of corns eating there eggs but if i remember right the idea was pretty much dismissed. if the bumps are very close to the vent you could try to massage them gently towards the vent, but dont aply to much pressure there are other methods but if your nervous i think your best going to the vets in about a weeks time. the eggs just may be retained in which case she will probs lay the soon. i had a corn this season that laid her eggs in bits and bobs took over a week in the end keep us posted before you try anything how many eggs has she lay in total and how was it 3 one day then two the next and soon ifso i would wait for a while for sure
Hello again. I'm relieved to say she's finally finished. She laid about 5 the first day another 5 the second over the last week she's laid 5 odd ones but there were still 2 intent on not coming out and she started her shedding cycle which indicated she'd finished. I totally left her alone for a few days, today i found she's shed so i got her out to check her over and she'd laid them because the bumps have gone but the eggs are nowhere to be seen! Has anyone else ever experienced a snake eating infertile eggs? There's nowhere else they be. Is she just abit wierd? lol
