Help!! My female has been laying for over a month!!

WARNING: I can be.....
Annebelle is a proven female '04 Candy Cane. I have had her since december '09. I bred her last breeding season and all 21 eggs she laid were infertile. I assumed it was the male because she had laid fertile eggs before with the previous owner, the male had not. So this breeding season I bred her to a different male; A lavender het bloodred, Hypo, poss. het amel, anery.

She went into blue and shed. May 3rd, she laid an egg in the laybox. She laid 12 eggs that day. about May 10th I noticed the 13th egg was at her vent and wasnt moving. I sucked the yolk out and in about 2 days later the shed and passed the bound egg. I counted 7 eggs still in her. She has been in and out of the laybox. Her skin is peeling but she did not go into blue again. One egg is close to the vent, but the others are not so much. It is June 2nd now, what can I do to help her?


BTW, The 12 eggs she laid the first time, one went bad and all other are good and have been candeled and there are veins.
 
Yea, I know a reptile vet. I want to know what I can do for her in my care. I can not afford a vet right now. I know, everyone is going to give me crap about how I shouldn't own snakes if you can provide for them. I have sold almost all my snakes because I know I can not provide for them anymore. I still own her though. And I cant take her to a vet. So please help me help her.
 
If it was me I would call a reputable reptile vet and ask for a payment plan of some kind. Or even offer to surrender the snake to the vet in return for care. Just from the little I have read about breeding and egg binding and such, it sounds like this is serious enough for that kind of action.
 
I hope someone that has more experience breeding can chime in but if the eggs have been in there for a month and only 1 is by the vent I am not sure what else could be done other than surgery. I am so sorry. This is only my 2nd year breeding and knock on wood I haven't had an egg bound snake so like I said hopefully someone with more experience will chime in soon.
