That sucks. =/

That is so sad. I hope this isnt a stupid question but do you think the eggs would be salvagable if you had a vet remove them?
If it were my snake Id feel a little better if her babies made it.

Those eggs are more than likely long dead.

In the future you can try using a large bore needle and draining the eggs. It was probably too late for that female no matter what you did though. I have never had much luck taking snakes to the vet even though I do have a pretty good exotics vet. You more than likely would have ended up spending a ton of money and still losing the snake anyway.

Make sure you do it before the eggs go that long. They calcify fairly quickly.

Damn thats terrible I'd freak out if I lost one must have been painful too. Poor thing

I had that happen earlier this year for my first time... A nice Pastel female bred to a Pastel Ivory! She started nesting and then went back into shed again... I thought that was weird but didnt think much of it... Then she dropped one slug and had what looked like 2 big lumps of maybe 3 eggs apeice...
She had 2 giant eggs surgically removed maybe a month and a half after she should have dropped them. She is doing fine, but I was getting pretty bummed out when she looked so uncomfortable! Now she just has a bunch of stitches!
