This female has laid for me before and I have never noticed this before. She has a swelling right before her vent that looks like a bound up egg. I've had this happen to another female in the past so I know what egg binding looks and feels like. I can feel around 20 eggs in this girl but the swelling has no feeling of an egg there. She is about 1 and 1/2 weeks past prelay shed. Any ideas what this is?

I would take her to a reptile vet immediately. If she becomes egg-bound she could very well die from it. Best of luck, and let us know how it works out!

Is it just on the sides, and squishy? Like "hips?"

Yeah Nanci, she is flat with hips. There is no egg there.
