Its not a good question because it cannot be directly answered. Tell me how to tell if one just laid, one day later, two days later, three days later.
If you asked if I palpated females after the nesting season I could give you a direct answer, yes, lots of them and never felt a hard egg or ovum(retained). EVER in hog, and as I explained. Its an odd question. As its a medical problem and not normal. So if it occurred, it had to have some traumatic reason.
I would like to ask, why do you ask that. Are you attempting to justify egg bound as normal to hognose. Its not and not to any egg laying reptile. Its a medical condition. In nature and in captivity.

ALso, please do not get upset if you ask a bad question. Unless your doing it on purpose.
As mentioned, in nature, they are AT their chosen nesting site, weeks months, ahead of laying. Normally
