Following a few threads on this subject in recent days, and considering some of the 'folk medicine' advice offered by inexperienced members, and the potential for disastrous results, I'm letting members know that Scales & Tails March issue has an article on just this topic, by Tim Portas BVSc MACVSc (Zoo Medicine). It's very informative, and explains the processes by which this can happen, how to diagnose it and the appropriate actions to take, in both lizards and snakes.
It explains why it is important to seek professional advice if you think there's a problem, because the nature of the Dystocia (why it has happened) must first be ascertained before the best course of action can be plotted. If you have had problems with retained eggs or young in your animals, or you plan on breeding sometime into the future, this issue is a must to have on hand for future reference.
