I've seen Oxytocin work in some Turtles and Tortoises, but never any snakes, whether egglayers or live bearers. The Chemical cues have passed, so she's not going to lay them on her own. So you're either going to have to opt for Surgery, or try to get them out yourself. You'd have to devote a good part of the day if you were trying to palpate them out. I wouldn't aspirate them yet, I would use that as your last option prior to surgery.
