Our Spotted laid a clutch of 13 eggs and had finished laying so we thought as she had wrapped the clutch.
We took her out and took the eggs out, the eggs are now in the incubator on vermiculite, and seeing the spotted stretched out in her tank we noticed she has one egg left in her that she did not lay. This egg is an inch to two inches from her cloaca.
We were planning on giving her overnight to see if she lays this egg by herself, she is in the nesting box at the moment.
So the advice i am asking is what can we do if she doesn't lay this egg overnight?
We have heard no vet locally would have much experience with this, and would probably want to operate, which we would like to avoid at all costs, cost isn't an issue the health of our snake is our first issue.
Any advice from anyone that has experienced this before would be very appreciatted, or if anyone knows a vet in adelaide (preferrably south of the city) that can deal with this would be very helpful, or if anyone knows if the vets at the zoo would be able to help.
Thanks
