    I thought about trying to push them out but I'm worried they'll break open... Prepping a space now to try to recover the eggs...

    omg dude i'm so sorry - thats SUCKS. I would cut open her cloaca and try to manipulate the eggs out. If that doesn't work get a good pair of kitchen shears and do the nasty. You may very well have viable eggs there. How long since her last shed?

    Looks like 5 eggs.

    This is strange. Egg binding takes days to become a fatal issue. Was she overdue to lay?

    Sorry for your loss whatever the cause.

    Bitter, sweet, and bitter update...

    I will post pics tomorrow but tonight I'm just going to keep drinking....

    I made the decision to cut to try to save the eggs. The bitter, obviously my first snake died egg bound. The sweet, when I cut, I extracted 5 eggs. All were pearly white and looked great. I set them in the egg box and candled. 5 eggs, all with healthy looking veins... I put the lid on and set them aside on a shelf to move things and open the bator... Now for the bitter again... My roommate turned around in the cramped snake room and bumped the egg box. Before any of us could do anything, it hit the ground... :O :mad::( I took paper towels and dried off the eggs, put them back in the box and put them in the bator... I don't blame him for knocking them off the shelf. It's a pretty cramped room. I'm just emotionally drained right now and I know I did everything I can to save them... Thanks to everyone who has been following this. I'm so freakin devastated right now I numb... I'm going to candle the eggs again in a few days to see if they're ok. Wish me luck. Pics of the process will be coming tomorrow...

    Yea I'd definitely be having a couple few more drinks after a night like you've had. Again, I'm so sorry this has happened and I'm keeping my fingers crossed the eggs are still viable.

    My heart just sank when I read that she had passed. I am so sorry to hear this :( I would probably cry for days if this happened to me.

    I really hope your eggs hatch! It would be such a blessing!

    Again, I am so sorry for your loss, hopefully her death isn't for nothing!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

    The eggs hitting the floor will probably NOT harm them--they are far more resilient than folks give them credit for, sometimes, and they're very new.

    I found this thread on the subject:
    http://www.fieldherpforum.com/forum/...php?f=2&t=6897

    It's both encouraging and discouraging. The chance is small, but it CAN work, so fingers are crossed for you!
