L.t.Gaigae first clutch - eggbound?

My Black Milk is laying her first clutch and I'm worried there may be a problem. She laid 3 eggs right away, one egg a day later, and now there are three eggs left in her with no progress for the past 3 days. The eggs are positioned right by her vent with the first one about an inch away.

I'm an experienced breeder with Ball Pythons, but this is my first Milk Snake clutch. I read that they can take up to a month to pass all of their eggs, but that seems a bit unusual.

Can any experienced Milk Snake breeders give me some info. on what is a normal amount of time to wait for a clutch to be delivered? At what point should I try to assist her in massaging the egg out or aspirating the egg?
