if it was only a day or two since laying you could have tried a bath but with this amount of time elapsed it's now a vet job as eeji and matty have already said.
an egg-bound snake is likely to be costly but it's also definitely life-threatening as it will have got to the point where it's no longer soft and passable. unfortunately surgical intervention or euthanasia are the most likely options but please keep us posted. |

eeji's right although the longer she stays egg-bound the less likely that will be able to be done successfully............and we're already on 2 weeks.........
is there any news yet? |

please keep us all informed how you get on
As GP has said, it doesnt tend to work after 2 or 3 days of the snake begining to lay. |
