Exactly. Time to call the vet.

Ok, total nube question.
Can you soak these females? or would that harm the eggs? Would it help anything if you did soak them?
I know when I don't see stool as soon as I'd like I soak them at night and the next morning, there it is!
I know, 2 completely different systems...

Soaking won't do anything.
If she is eggbound, the last egg needs to be destroyed to hopefully allow the rest to pass.

Hmm that sucks Steve

I thought a lot of people aspirate the last egg at home. Or would that be first egg? It seems like if the egg is right there, it would not be hard to do.

I've also seen on corn snake forums people talking about massaging the egg out.

Any particular reason you are going straight to the vet instead of trying something at home first?

I am NOT trying to recommend anything here. I have absolutely no experience and am not even close to qualified to do so. Just trying to stimulate discussion so we can all learn.

[SPJ]

Never had to deal with it so I would rather leave it to the vet to decide to try and manipulate out or aspirate the egg nearest the vent.

I have heard 60 days before, have you come up with a deadline? Whats the longest you have heard? I know a few folks have chimed in. Has to be a lil nerve racking.

Best of luck with her, I think she just wants to set a record/test your patience, better be some big friggin eggs!

I have a female on day 51. I am going to let her go to day 65.
