possible egg bound king

hmj75 May 09, 2007 04:12 PM

Hi i am new to the forum but have had snakes in the past. This year i am going the extra step and breeding. I just had a albino cal king today by 9am lay 5 eggs which i removed but 8 hours later she looks like she has 4 left in her....Kind of worried here, i was told that if i put the eggs back that she would continue........any help would be greatly appreciated

not true about putting the eggs back. This does not make them retain eggs. Eggbound snakes are fairly common. I would not worry about it. If she expels the eggs later then they will obviously be bad. But I think all the measures people take in trying to remave eggbound snakes is unhealthy and uneccessary.

I remove the the eggs right as they lay. Iv'e had a lot of females eat their eggs so now if i see a snake laying I remove the eggs as fast as she can spit them out.
