I was finally starting to look at her like a decent snake and not just a PITA too. Cross your fingers she decides to pass this on her own although maybe we will take her on a long car ride just to help things along. Now that I have some debt paid down and money in savings I'll have to look into options for fixing her somehow if she can't. I wonder if it's worth taking her in locally to get an xray and see if there's more I'm not feeling or wait and bit and see if it moves down quickly.
    What lousy luck. I hate it when snakes just keep trying to reproduce- egg-binding killed a beautiful young unbred Cal-king I had years back- it's just not easily dealt with.
    I still have 2 adult FL rat snakes that lay dozens of eggs every year (double-clutches, too), but so far, none of their eggs ever get stuck. And some have been parthenogenetically viable too, I made the mistake of incubating the eggs that looked good the summer of 2019, & now I have 3 more snakes... (so much for that bright idea!) Hope you get her sorted out safely.
