This is not a good way to "save" an egg bound female snake. You may have gotten away with it this time, we don't know for sure yet. She may still die in a few days and her reproductive tract may be permanently damaged. I really hope not.

There are many causes of dystocia (in this case an abnormal egg) and many of them can not be fixed just by squeezing out the eggs. This snake may have laid her clutch on her own (and cheaply) with some calcium and oxytosin injections. And if that failed a veterinarian would have sedated or anesthetized the snake to make palpating the eggs out easier, much less risky, and much less painful for the snake. Surgery would be a last resort. This is a valuable breeding animal and as far as I am concerned there is no excuse not to take this snake to a vet and pay a couple hundred bucks to get this taken care of in a humane way that is much more likely to produce a healthy fertile snake at the end. One that could easily make that money back over her breeding lifetime.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen people try and palpate eggs out of a female only to find that they palpated out her entire oviduct ruining her breeding potential forever. I have seen people tear open the cloaca or prolapse other organs. I have seen snakes die after palpating stuck eggs, likely due to internal bleeding or infection from rupturing an abnormal or rotten egg into the coelomic cavity.

Again I am glad your snake appears OK. And I hope that she will continue to breed for you next year. But please do not post this as an example of what to do with an egg bound snake because you were one of the lucky ones that got away with it.
