Rusty, I think Tony's response pretty well covers it. The best summary is there's no predicting and I've always been struck by how many different problems and outcomes there are when dealing with eggbinding.

The eggs from a breeding this season could be in the same side as the duds, or the other side; if the same side, would they expel the duds ahead of them? And if the other side, could the good eggs still hang up where the body's perhaps constricted adjacent to the old eggs? I'm afraid there's no good bet on this one. If you had access to the vet I used when I had my collection, 5-10 years ago, I'd tell you to take her in and have him remove the old eggs. I'd say that because he removed a whole clutch from a big tricolor hondo and she laid successfully the next year. Bukt I understand it's hard to find a truly proficient reptile vet.

I'm sorry I don't have any meaningful data to share with you, to help you make your decision.

Good luck! Let's get together later this month for another road hunt, see if we can top last year's results.
