teeth.....you do it but didn't want to say it...hmmmm...LOL...I've used my mouth/teeth to pull plunger for 20 years now....not often, but when needed....



eggs way way up in body cavity....yes...I would just aspirate then leave them...usually they will work their way down, albeit slower than I like....and from time to time , yes...the female will die...I have had a female die in 3 days...wow...and I have had them dumping duds for weeks (?) while eating or while not eating...some females will not eat, even with one retained ovum...odd.....



I took a snake (L. t. stuarti ) large adult female...one stuck egg,,,it grew and grew and was stuck...and it was right at the vent...I told the doc to cut her open on the side and remove it...he was all more than happy to show me how to just pop it out...even after I told him NOT TO...it would not come out...and to cut her....NOOOO...he pushed till it came out, while pulling on it with hemostats...and all the while she went into deep shock........she died that night and didn't need the syringes of baytril he sent home with me....last time I asked a vet for help....(they are just good for meds)..(.my opinion...thanxxx)



....so yes...all situations are different...and all people react differently....some people will run to a vet for a little minor scratch,on a $10 cornsnake,, while others would treat $5000 snakes themselves....



.....good luck all......and bigger cages, less food....
