Yes, I read your post and agree, a second pair of hands is a must! The reason I suggest a lack of calcium is because when you take a snake to the vet for egg-binding, usually the first words out of thier mouth is "It could be stuck due to decalcifacation". I imagine if an egg is lacking in calcium, perhaps it is not as smooth as it should be and hence harder to pass?
You also have to take in to account that they all have different metabolic rates and different effects that those rates have on thier bodies.
Of course we have all seen people who do nothing and eat horrible that end up thin and some people eat well and exercise and still have a weight problem. Just like some corns have troubles while being on the same care as others with no problems. Some need a little more help. I hope you have better luck this year Matt!
