| Hiya guys & galls hope you can help. I've recently been given a 7year old female amel corn. She settled in well but has recently laid a clutch of 16 eggs without problem even though she has never been with a male. We took them all away and she was a little subdued then shed. But over the past 4 days we have noticed at least 5 more eggs but she doesn't seem to be parting with them. I've tried bathing her on a friends advice but still no joy. Any ideas? |

| Sorry no experience of breeding here but you can try popping in a moist hide for her to go into until someone with experience of breeding comes along. |

| She still has 5 eggs inside her 4 days after laying? If so, time for a vet visit. Snakes can become eggbound which can be very dangerous. |

| As others have said really, make sure your vet knows their reptiles though. Try not to keep looking at her and just leave her be in a dark quiet place if you can till you can get her to a vet. Peeking at her and stress causes can make them hold onto eggs/egg bound. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| Just realised my post made it look as if i expected the eggs to survive. I meant along the lines of they are fine and arnt causing problems for her. |

| I've tried the moist hide and she tried it out for a while but no joy. Think it's time to get her checked. Now I've just got to find a good reptile vet |

| If you do a search there is a thread on here where you should be able to find a specialist reptile vet in your area, if you can't find it one of the mods might be able to point you in the right direction. |
