    Called around Duluth a bit, one place has one reptile vet, booked up through the 22nd. Another place has three reptile vets who recommended I up her heat, get some perlite for her to lay in and add a uv bulb, along with some other very random advice about injecting calcium, feeding frogs and how substrate is bad. My only options for time off work are the following Monday and Tuesday, any other time we can set up my fiance would have to take her which isn't ideal since he doesn't know anything about snakes.

    Re: When to worry? Hognose laying eggs

    Feeding a meal might help move things along, not the first time I hear it and I have tried it myself, sadly without positive results.

    No suggestion of oxytocin?

    While you are waiting I would keep soaking her in warm water and massage her gently, not much you can do until they get a look at her.

    My guess when they do if she has not passed her eggs yet they will likely aspire the first one (this is the least invasive option.)
