    OMG, that's devastating! I have no idea how to answer your question about rescuing the eggs, but I'm so sorry for your loss.

    OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!

    What horrible news! So sorry to hear that I've seen a couple snakes do this and it was just a sign of impending eggs...

    I read on another forum (don't ask me where, or who said it, or in what context) that eggs are only viable if they actually pass through the cloaca. But like I said I have no idea of the source or weather or not that is true. By all means, I would try. It may give you some insight as to what happened with her.

    Again, so sorry. You must be devastated, and nothing any of us say will make it any better :'(

    Sooo sorry for your loss! That is devastating!

    If I were in this situation, it would be hard to cut the eggs out, but I think I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    I know this might seem like a weird request, but if you do decide to take the eggs, would you be willing to take pics? I would like to see what was going on in there. I hope I don't offend you by asking this

    Not at all. I'm really considering doing this, and yes I will document the process if I do. I know time is of the essence in this situation so I'm hoping to get some definitive advice before I try. Updates to come... But anyone else, anyone who may have had this happen, PLEASE chime in...

    Oh man that is too sad. She didn't look or sound too good. I thought she was dead in that picture. She definitely could have been egg bound, they looked like they were piled up down there. I would be very tempted to cut the eggs out, but you will have to make a decision pretty quick, snakes start rotting right away.

    Very sad, so sorry for your loss

    I'm going to second the request for any and all info. I've been googling and can't find anything. If we can save the eggs we'll do it. Thank you so much for your support.

    Thanks. I know she just passed within the last hour or two, so I know I have to do it very soon. My roommate is on his way home from work so I'm gonna take a shot or two of vodka and go for it. If I can at least salvage the eggs, her death wouldn't be for nothing...

    You may not have to dissect. You could probably just press the eggs down and out. Sorry for your loss, she did not look good in the pic you posted.
