My female Albino corn laid 21 nice eggs. But, she has two more 'bound' near her cloaca. It's been 5 days since she finished with the laid clutch. Any ideas on helping her get these two out? (other than the obvious vet visit)

Thanks

This happened to my snow. Try soaking her in warm (not hot)water and or try to 'gently' move the eggs down with your hand. I ended up having to go to the vet. They x-rayed her, soaked her, put some KY jelly in her cloaca, and ended up sticking her with a syringe and sucking the egg contents out. She passed what was left of the egg a couple of days later. I live in a fairly remote area and had to drive an hour to get to a vet that actually dealt with reptiles. I don't think they deal with many or many friendly ones though. They kept expecting my snow to strike and be aggressive. She was an angel the whole time and some vets and techs came in and were asking questions about corns. So, Laz got relief and some vet personnel got some education. BTW, it cost me $125 for the visit, but was well worth it, IMHO. Good luck with your corn!

Tried the soaking thing for a good 45mins. and then took her out and applied gentle/firm consistent pressure. Sure enough I was able to expel the two eggs. She did great, just looked at me the whole time. Then ate a F/t mouse. All is good. thanks
