CAN EGGS BE TOO BIG TO PASS?

[spykerherps]

DAY 31 BETWEEN CLUTCHES. READY TO EXPLODE

One of my female albinos is 2 years old first year laying she weighed in at about 65 -67 grams at the beginning of the season layed her first clutch just fine ( the in the incubator now) But it has been 31 days sense her first clutch and she has been looking like she is going to pop with her 2nd clutch sense day 18.(My females usually lay every 14 to 18 days) She has lost a little weight she is 58 g. as of right now.tail is looking a little skinnyer I think most of the weight is in her belly. 2007 will be my 6th year breeding leos and have never experienced this I do all the same supplementations as most of you do , so i don't think it could be lack of calcium but it could be I just don't know. Could it have been she didn't get enough to eat between clutches or could the eggs be too big to pass.
Anything to help would be great.
THX.

Yes, eggs can be too big to pass. It is one of the contributing factors in egg-binding (dystocia). Here are some of the reasons females can become egg-bound:

- lack of an appropriate place to lay eggs
- eggs too large and/or female too young or too small
- insufficient calcium
- stress
- uterine inertia

1.my female Blizzard gave me yesterday only one egg could it be that she was carrying only one egg ? a few weeks ago she layed 2 eggs ! I am not sure if one egg is still in her ? Is it possible that she will lay it in the next day´s ?` This is her first season ! She is at 60 g !

2.Today i found a yellow egg in my giant tank but only one is that a problem ?Or can she drop a other yellow egg the next day´s ? She is a first time breeder too ! She is still together with the male in the tank can it be that she will get next time good eggs ?

Thx 4 help
