A little more......how far up is the egg....near cloaca or further? Did you still keep the nesting box in there with the same sphagnum? How long ago did she lay? And have you offered any food items just yet?

Thankfully I've only experienced four occasions of a retained egg in the last 17 years of breeding, and each time I'd wait almost 2 weeks and practically give up (except in one occasion many years ago where I pushed the egg out.....along with the oviduct......and I lost the snake, a Honduran, a short while later...). On the other three occasions I changed the sphagnum and the female would lay the last egg. It may just be a weird coincidence, BUT, it couldnt hurt.
