Tom's done a great job in guiding you, and I have to agree with him that I don't think perilite is a good choice for a nesting medium. Sphagnum is my medium of choice. As I said, Tom has said nothing that I disagree with. The vet may be your only choice if another week or so goes by. As Tom said it is a touchy subject (could be why you haven't gotten a lot of responses) that has many opinions for a solution. I have had a couple of snakes eggbound over the years. One of which was a Cape Gopher that passed away. That one snake is why I'm leary of waiting too long for medical attention. I aspirate (sucking out the insides of the egg that is stuck with a needle) the eggs myself now if I have a girl having trouble. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO THIS YOURSELF. This is where your vet would come in. There are things that can go wrong by waiting. There are things that can go wrong by aspirating. You just have to weigh each and make the best choice you can. Good luck to you!
