Breeding/Egg Production & CareAny topics concerning breeding of the cornsnake, brumation, egg laying, or issues concerning problems in any step along the way.
I just wanna know if anyone can shed some light on eeg bound my albino stripped died the other day due to eeg bound why do the eegs get stuck in the snakes body and am i doing something wrong ?
bullet,
My first experience with an egg bound female was last season. The snake (an amel motley) was 34" healthy and 3 years old. This was her first clutch. I really expected no problems. Unfortunatley, she did not lay on time. I waited longer than I thought I should, and finally 1 egg passed, then nothing. After 2 more days I convinced myself the choices were limited,and letting her die was not one of them. I chose to aspirate the egg nearest the cloaca. The proceure for me was done alone and self taught. I would recomend help with this when ever available--at one point in the procedure--she flailed her head and almost impaled herself on the open needle. An extra set of hands is the bare minimum when it comes to help. Anyway I managed to save 6 out of 18 eggs and the female. If she has as much trouble this season I will retire her. With conditions as good as could be expected, I was surprised by the dystochia. I have had smaller younger animals produce similar clutches with no problem.
Best of Luck!
