Kenyan sand with babies near birth?

bchambers Sep 06, 2006 11:22 PM

hi
this is my first clutch of this type of snake . We are worried about her as it looks as though the baby mass has moved toward the tail last week and started to leak a little but stopped . she movede her baby mass off the heat . and while she isnt straining we are worried that some thing is blocking and or the babies have died. we are thinking of do a c- section on her soon in case the babies are dead.I got her in June but in august traveled cross country with her. and in light of the 4 day trip may have caused damage to her( the a/c in the car ) any thoughts or ideas
thankyou
