    Need some help here...

    One of my females layed one egg 2 days ago and it looks like there's a couple bunched up by her vent. I can also feel 3 more up from the bulge. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice as to what I should do?

    Also wanted to add that this was a surprise, I've had her 6 months and I didn't pair her yet so I was completely unprepared. ..

    Egg-bound maybe? Do a search on the site, there are a few threads where others had it happen.

    Everything I've seen so far has the eggs up further in the body. Haven't seen anything about eggs near the vent. On a positive note (I guess), she's drinking water.

    Update: There was a small amount of poo in her tub this morning. She doesn't seem to be as stressed out as she was the past 2 days.

    Any pics of the first egg, was it good or bad?
    From the pics I would she's egg bound.
    Corey Woods has a thread floating around on how to aspirate eggs or you can take her to the vet.

    I candled the first egg and it appears to be healthy and full of veins. Can get a pic of it later when I get home. I'll search for that thread in a bit.
