I have a Super Vanilla Pastel who has been a problem with breeding, and now she throws another one my way. Simply not breeding the last few seasons has been frustrating enough, but now she is overdue on the lay and I am debating if it is just her, or at this point she could be egg-bound.

She is starting day 46 past pre-lay-shed this morning. I have heard some people see them take up to 45 days, but at this point it is getting concerning.

I had an egg-bound snake about 6 years ago and she passed most and was only bound by 2 eggs. In trying to save her, we lost those eggs and she never recovered from the procedure well enough to where she had to be put down. If I wait to deal with the situation, this is what I fear will happen again. If it is not being bound, then I don't want to put the snake through any extra stress.

In 10 years I have not had a snake take this long to lay, so looking for input from anyone who has experienced this time span. Anybody else have experience with this long?

Thank you in advance for your input!!
