One of my Diamonds is currently laying eggs, they are very late & she has been laying since last night. She still clearly has a number of eggs in her. So far she has layed 10 eggs (3 appear viable, 7 definately slugs) It is also her first clutch at 6 years old. She is approximately 7 feet long, cycled correctly over the past years & she was in perfect condition when the male was introduced. I have never experienced this before & I am hoping someone can shed some light on the normal time span it takes Diamonds to lay???
Previously, they have all layed their entire clutch in a number of hours, bet never this long.
I am worried she may have egg binding, which if this is the case could not have happened at a worse time. My vet isn't open until Tuesday & at this time I cant find out when another vet is open.
Just want to make it clear that I am taking her to a vet as soon as they are open, but any help in what I should do in the meantime would be apperciated. I have increased the temp to 32 deg C & sprayed the enclosure to increase the humidity.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I definately don't want to lose her, not worried about the eggs.
Thanks guys
