    Question No eggs: Cause for concern? DUW

    Alright guys, this last season I paired up my hypo with my het hypo. They locked like crazy, neither went off food. The female developed what i believe to be ~8-9 follicles. Continued breeding together. lots of locks still. The female started to lay sideways and wrapping her bowl a bit, as well as wrapping the male:



    Unfortunately I was forced to move ( december-ish. had to. unavoidable) so all my snakes had a 2 hour ride in pillowcases ontop of flexwatt. Everything seemed fine. The girl ballooned like crazy over the next couple months.

    Video the day of the move:

    Picture from ~ 2mths ago (with ex):


    I still have yet to get any eggs, and the female, lelu, is still as large as ever. She has shed I think twice since.
    taken tonight, sorry for bad quality: (blue right now)





    I extended the season a bit in hopes of getting a clutch. Do you think there is anything to worry about? Being egg bound, one of them having something wrong with them as to where they can not breed, something else?? I figured it just did not take, but I am starting to worry a bit. She is still eating well and acting the same as usual. It doesn't feel like there is anything unusual in there. Ever had this happen? Any words of advice/reassurance/experience?

    Thank you in advance.

    So she was being handled, and allowed to dangle while you thought she was gravid?

    Maybe re-absorbtion

    no, not dangled when I thought she was gravid. never moved her unless I reallly had to and then it was directly into an already setup tub, well supported. that was after I had thought she didn't take, and she was out to clean a tub as everyone decided to poop at the same time. She also hasn't lost any girth since then.

    I see videos of breeders yanking gravid females out, letting them hang, palpating them and putting them back all the time, and I didn't do that.

    It's probably just because I am tired, but you're response seems more along the lines of being mean spirited, as opposed to being helpful.
