Whats her age/weight? I know when my girl was a first timer, I was really concerned, but she did fine. Try the warm water soaks, that made me feel better when I did it.

Warm soak and a belly rub afterwards worked great for 4 of my females, they laid 1-2 days later. Not to mention they LOVED the warm water, lol,...some fell asleep and I had to watch them so they didnt go under.
Give it a try, but gently rub her belly to loosen things up a bit.
Can we say pampered??

Yeah it is her first time, it wasnt a planned pregancy.....her dad did it to her.. anyways i have removed her as well as all my females from the males. I dont want to have any babies this year. She has passed one egg and its HUGEEEEEE. poor thing, she almost looks empty now. She is very skinny becasue she hasnt been eating well. Im not so concerned now that shes layed one. Im sure she will start to feel better and start eating again.

actually...dont be suprised if she continues to lay, over and over and over again. Take the few weeks between pregnancy to fatten her up for the next clutch...she'll need it. Give plenty of calcium, and a few pinkies or waxworms.
How much does she weigh,...age?

oh i know she will continue to lay until the season is over, i have bred before, but this will be her first and last time. no reason to put her through it if im not gonna hatch the eggs. hmmmmm im not sure of her weight i have no scale, but she very very thin, skinny tail...not good breeding weight. ive been trying to fatten her up but i dont think she was feeling good so she wouldnt eat for a while, hopefully she will now though. She was born august 21, 2002, so she will be 2 this summer.
