Kinda new to breeding snakes so thanks in advance for any advice. Our oldest Blond laid 2 eggs in it's hide box early last week. They were possibly duds to begin with but by the time I found them they were toast anyway. I placed her into a "nesting box" ( Igloo with moistened sphagnum ) where she laid another egg two days ago & one today. These eggs look viable. She still retains two eggs. Apparently, she doesn't like the options given her.
Am I just missing out on the obvious in the husbandry tactics or what? Any techniques to encourage spitting out those last 2 eggs?
