Very well said Gregg.

Either she's capable of reproducing or she isn't. I agree that egg binding is a direct result of poor husbandry, more specifically poor nesting options and dehydration. That goes for all snakes, from pythons to kings to hogs. Keep her in a glass tank with a screen top and offer a clear tupperware tub for nesting and your chances of egg binding go up significantly. Limit air exchange, offer a dark, humid place that offers security at the time of breeding and the threat of eb goes way down. This goes for young, small females as well, but the older girls tend to suffer from eb more than young ones.
