Hi guys need some advice. I believe one of my females to be gravid with a second clutch (purely of her doing with no intervention from me) i cant feel any eggs from underneath but can feel what i believe to be eggs from her sides. She shed approx 14 days ago but still have no sign of eggs. Shes been in her moss hide for around 3 days solid. Is there any way i can tell if it the worse case scenario of her being egg bound or even tell weather it is eggs i can feel? Preferably without the expense of a vet. Is there anything i can do to help her along. Any advice welcom Thanks nathan
generally its from the belly you would be able to feel the eggs, not so much from the sides. plenty time left befroe you need to start worrying about being eggbound usually 10-14 days after a shed they start laying but can be slightly longer period. Just keep a close eye on this lass.
Thanks graham. Although its not my first time with her its my first time with a double clutch. Just for reference what do i look for in an egg bound snake ?
would it be cruel of me to say "not laying eggs"? but that is the only way. See over the next few days if any of the bumps are moving down the body hopefully soon, if they are eggs, you should notice
advice needed
