Egg Bound Snake?

Hello~ So Let me tell you first off that It's my first time breeding snakes, and I want to become a snake breeder. So 5 years ago I go my first corn snake She's a gorgeous snow, and this year bred her to a hypo het snow. Well, Sunday I woke up to 12 gorgeous eggs! They look nice, with the exception of a couple might-be-slugs. So I incubated them. I took her out and noticed that she has one lump in her still. I showed my local pet store, because they breed a lot of snakes, and they said it would take her about 3 days to pass it. It's not anywhere near the vent. Should I still wait, or should I take her to a vet? I read a lot of things, like you should wait or shouldn't wait, because it will harden and you can't aspirate it.

Today is Tuesday, and It hasn't moved at all closer to the vent. What's the best course of action? I took her out last night, I wanted to check what kind of state she was it, and she was really active, trying to squirm in my hair, and wrap around everything, but still so light. And she must have not gotten out of her lay box at all because she was so thirsty when I put her next to her water. Should I wait a little longer? Massage the egg to the vent? Take her to a vet? :)

Any advice is really appreciated -Love, Jess
 
The last two years I've had a female bind up a bit as well. Both times she passed the eggs while shedding the post lay shed. One was about a week after, the other was just a little longer. She is doing great, just wanted to hold on to a few for a week longer. You might want to wait until her shed.

Aaaa you were right Mike, Thanks. I actually just found it hidden under the moss just now, I was too scared I would stress her to move it. She must have passed it this morning. I'm so extremely extremely proud of her. It's beautiful. <3
