So a couple days ago when I slid one of my gravid females cage open I saw that flash of white that always gets me exited. I seen that she had one egg sitting beside her. I knew that she had a total off four eggs to lay, so I closed the cage and left her alone to finish up. Problem is she never did. I waited several hours excited to get one of my more anticipated clutches in the incubater. After about four hours she had not laid another egg, and wasn't shoiwing any sign of attempting it. I finally decided to take the one egg she did lay, put it in the incubated, and go to bed disappointed.

So its been two days since then, and she still hasn't shown any interest in fineshing her job, and the one egg she dropped turned out to be infertile. She doesnt have any of the risk factors for getting egg bound. She is a good weight, and this is not her first clutch. I was hoping that if I left her alone and waited that she would eventually drop the rest on her own, but at this point I'm debating assisting her in the delivery. I've watched videos on how to force the eggs down and out, and it doesn't seem like a very difficult process, so even though I'm a little nervouse about attempting it I'm sure I can manage to get it done.

So that brings me to my question. I've established that I can assist her in delivering, but shoiukd I? What are the risks of doing so? Or should I give her more time to pass them in her own?
