egg laying issues

[sjt6494]

ok my female has had eggs in her since april i have no idea on what to do....any suggestions....

If they have been there since April and she's still alive and acting relatively normally I would assume you're looking at the fat bodies. If they are indeed eggs you need to get her to a vet NOW. If you have a picture of her belly (you can take it through a clean container with adequate light) folks may be able to tell you what you're seeing.

Here's an awesome thread with lots of pictures of ovulation vs. eggs.

A picture of her belly would be helpful.

I agree that a picture would be really helpful. In those pictures you should be able to see fat bodies and BRIGHT white eggs. If you can see bright white through her belly like in those first few pictures and you are sure it has been there for 6 or more weeks you might want to find a qualified reptile vet to give you an opinion on whether they are eggs and if they are, if she is egg bound and help get them out of her if she is.

I have a question; if she is eggbound, will the eggs 100% be infertile, or could you salvage the eggs and hatch them?

 

[DrCarrotTail]

Egg binding usually means the shell adheres to the wall of the fallopian tube and/or the egg becomes too big for the female to pass naturally. If she really is egg bound the eggs will more than likely be destroyed in the procedure to extract them. If the somehow manage to be kept intact I would assume they will be nonviable as they have been kept in an environment with varied temperatures and possibly too much moisture. I guess there's always a chance but I doubt it.

Is she still eating and pooping?
