No, because I would have found it harder to work the egg out if it was deflated. After having them out I dont think it would have deflated much anyways. They were quite solid.Originally Posted by RobNJ
To get them out I used gravity and kept her tail end in the water and gently was able to work them out over time. They sure popped out with quite some pressure. The second egg was much easier to get out after that first one.
No they were not viable eggs, they were solid, I suppose how I would describe them is what I think a snake egg would feel if hard boiled.
Shes done well so far but she has not passed that last egg on her own.
Shes still acting ok, shes not lethargic in any way but looks painful.
An update..
Its been a NIGHTMARE to try and get into a vet, the soonest I can get her in is tomorrow afternoon. And this may be something that requires surgury. I dont know the exotic vets, I havnt had to take any snakes to the vet expect once. I dont know who to trust, I have the option of two different vets. The first one (the one I've used before) has only a small appointment available and wouldnt be able to perform surgury that day. The other is a brand new vet practice so theres not much to read about them but they have an exotics vet and they can open the afternoon for me incase of surgury. As I mentioned before I live 2 1/2 hours away from the nearest exotics vet and its hard to work this all out.
I'm a VERY worried snake mama right now. Eagan was my first ever ball python and shes my precious girl. I'm so frusterated right now.
