Egg-binding advice?

[rabernet]

The advice on page two could be helpful, although the situation is a little different. Good luck with her! http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...=118270&page=2

Since people can set different numbers of posts per view (I have 20 to a page) it may not be page 2. Post #14 is the post I think is being referred to. Some of it is applicable to this situation. Especially the part about removing eggs.

I think this part is especially important:

b) If the egg is stuck and won't come out do the following. This is for eggs that are stuck/twisted in the ovaduct. You can tell they are stuck because when you apply pressure to the egg to move it down to the vent it will spring back into place when you remove the pressure. In this case you'll want to go to a farm supply store and get a 14 or 16 gage needle and a 20-60ml syringe. You are going to jab the female through the belly directly into the stuck egg and drain as much liquid as possible. You may have to empty the syringe a few times so keep the needle part in the female and disconnect the syringe, empty the fluid and then hook it back upto the syringe and keep draining the fluid. Once that is done the female will pass the empty egg shell in a few days. I'm not sure why but they are always able to untwist a stuck egg that has been drained. If you don't remove the egg(s) the female will die. If more than one egg is stuck do all of the stuck eggs this way.
