I have a female that is laying but is taking a very long time.
She is CB ’99 proven by previous owner. She is approx. 2 feet long. She has laid 3 eggs in her nest box with sphagnum moss.
She had her pre-egg laying shed almost 3 weeks ago.
She laid 1 infertile egg on 6/24
She has laid 2 good eggs on 6/27
Now today (6/28). - She has not laid anymore eggs. BUT, all her girth has shifted to the base of her body by her tail. – There could be maybe 6 or more eggs by the looks of her.
She appears to be very stressed. She hasn’t eaten since 6/13. I am very worried about her. I don’t think she could be egg bound because it appears that all the eggs moved from the middle of her body to the end.
I had a virgin female hog lay 5 good eggs on 6/23 a week after shedding; she was breed at the same time as this female. – She had no problems what so ever and it was her first time being bred.

Is there anything I can do for her?
Thanks in advance.
