Alright guys/gals, she's egg bound still

coolluigi007 May 15, 2009 10:54 AM

Well, I drained the first egg a few days ago. There wasn't any blood in the egg so that means it was unfertal right? So she still hasn't passed the drained egg, and the other egg that is behind the drained one. So should I give her more time?? I thought I remember reading that if they are unfertal eggs it is much less of a big deal and she'll pass them when she's ready. Do I drain the 2nd egg or take her in or just give it more time? I'm kinda at a loss.... I thought she would have been alright by now... She still looks very healthy and not even uncomfortable like she looked before I drained the first egg... Any ideas/thoughts?

2 questions:

How many days has it been since her pre lay shed?

Have you bred this snake before?

It has been about two months since her prelay shed, and I don't know if she has bred before. She hasn't for me, but I bought her from a guy on ks. and she was the first snake I bought, so I wasn't smart enough to ask if she has bred before.

Are you certain on that two month time for the prelay shed?
No sheds since that one?

If it really has been two months (double check this), then I would have concerns for her. At this point, whether the eggs are fertile is not important. I would either aspirate the next egg or take her to a knowledgeable reptile vet.

Good luck and let us know how she is doing.

It is either one month or two, I have a question mark by a prelay shead mark that my girlfriend wrote down and she said she was pretty sure it was a new shed that day...
