Whoop! We got the last egg out!
Hopefully now she can recover no problem.
I think a nice year vacation from breeding is in order and hopefully this first time breeder won't repeat this problem.

I am SO glad that she passed that last egg! I'm sure she is feeling much better already.

Glad it worked out for you. Just saw this thread. I'm glad you found a good reptile vet in your area.

Oh man, you can about imagine the amount of stress that has been lifted from my shoulders. Poor girl has been miserable I know it.
I'm so happy to be done with this ordeal. Now her poor cloaca needs to recover lol sounds horrible. She's a trooper though, my strong girl.

This is the first time that I've seen this thread and I'm glad that I got to read all the way to the happy part! Very happy that she is alright and I don't see any problem in giving her a year off! How many eggs are you incubating from her right now?

Thank you.
She laid 6 eggs, they all candled well but sadly didn't make it past a week.
So I'm hoping this is just a first timer problem and that she's not just a bad breeder.
She's a reason I wanted to breed, she's my queen lady.
If she has complications again then I will retire her.

Mega bummer, sorry to hear that. Wonder what happened? May she provide better in future years. I'd bet you're proud of her though after coming through all that. What a tough snakes!

Wow, this has opened up a bunch of dangers involved with having female ball pythons that I never considered O.O I have a female galah cockatoo and the possibility of a egg bound bird is scary. Pretty much what happened to your girl but if you try to push out a birds egg they can shatter inside of them and kill them.

I was so relieved that this had a good ending, and the X-ray photo was really cool. I hope they gave you a copy considering what a Xray can cost lol

I used to breed cocktails a couple years back and I'm all too familiar with eggbinding in birds. Usually proves fatal.
That's probably why I was mostly so worried. Thought my snake was going to die. But the methods of treatment for a snake are much different than a bird.

yes unfortunately in breeding there are always risks.

Egg retention does happen on occasion, I don't usually know what causes it, but it is always stressful.

Glad you were able to get them all passed, and I would take the same approach for next season, giving her the year off.

Best of luck to both of you!
