Freaking out! My first snake laid an egg- she was a virgin as far as I know!

I don't know about that. I'm seriously considering finding better hands for her and the others if she pulls through and heals up alright.

I don't know. I had 2 girls go eggbound. Kelsey died a few minutes after coming home from her 3rd vet visit, Sangria survived, did fine, and 2 years later gave me my avalanche girl Solace.

Until this vet visit, please leave her totally alone, no checking, no pestering. Put a sign on her tub saying 'DO NOT DISTURB' Tell all your family to read the advice on here and that stressing her out could kill her.

Just be glad it's not a prolapse, egg binding is alot easier to fix than a prolapse

As a side issue, dare I ask where the eggs went? I like to put them in the freezer for a day before tossing them in the trash, to avoid them hatchling in the garbage and giving someone a heart attack. It's a remote possiblity but the last thing anyone needs.

Back from the appointment with great news!

I went in with Xia and they examined her. First she got an X-ray to make sure it was an egg and not a prolapsed uturus. They told me the issue occured because she had enough calcium for a normal snake, but not one that was egg bound. The thin shell made it difficult for Xia to push. They then lubricated her vent and tried to massage the vent, and after that did not work, they got a needle and sucked out the egg yolk. She was given and antibiotic shot and a labor inducer. I should see it out by the two day mark!

They also said to add calcium powder to the mice during feeding.

So you should let her relax and not check on her every five minutes now. Glad to hear the vet visit went well!

Yes. I'll leave her completely alone with a 'Do not disturb' sticky note until the makeup appointment two days from now.
