eggbound snake please help

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.

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!

after posting this morning I cut her open to try and save the eggs, just in case. but they were all bad already and smelled terrible. any thoughts on why this could have happend?

I think you need to take her to the vet NOW. You never know when she might get an infection that will kill her.
