My female super snow blizzard is about 3 years old and has layed 12 eggs so far. The last time she layed was 3 weeks ago. She has two eggs that are overdue to be layed. She averages 2 weeks between clutches. She is still eating a little. What should i do? should i wait another week until i call the vet? This is her first year laying. She is worrying me. The eggs have got pretty hard inside her. I have her soaking in warm water to make sure she stays hydrated.
Temperatures in tank is between 80 to 85 on cool and 90 to 100 on hot side.
She has a humidity hide to lay them, it is nice and moist.

I want to make sure i am not over reacting.

I would just relax. She may be getting to the end of laying eggs and this clutch is just taking a few days longer to come out. Also, they could be infertile, being egg #13 and #14, and she is just having a hard time passing them. Just keep an eye on her but she should be fine.

There's also the possibility that since this is toward the end of the season that she's just done, and her body may reabsorb them. But still keep a close eye on her. In my experience, eggs that get reabsorbed tend to turn into pinkish spots on the belly again instead of looking white and firm, and gradually diminish in size until they're gone. If they don't diminish and she hasn't laid in another two weeks, then I'd bring her to a vet to make sure she's okay.

ok. It has been 3 weeks and 2 days. The eggs are white and firm. She ate last night and she is going the bathroom. Thanks for your reply.
