My female Ball Python had to go to a Herp vet due to being egg bound. She lost her whole clutch in the process though. This happened before I got her, but the previous owner showed me the vet bill. Over $700 for the procedure. Due to her not succeeding with her clutch, I will not attempt to breed her again. I wouldn't wait to see what happens with her. A speedy trip to the vet is in order to ensure her safety!
