Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I think she's egg bound!?
I was so excited this year because my favorite female, a 2007 Spider, was finally interested in breeding. She locked many times and has since laid 2 good looking eggs on the 23rd of this month, but there are visibly 3 more bulges in her and she has shown no signs of trying to lay them! I am very concerned because the bulges have become larger over the past 2 days and I do not believe that she is going to be able to lay them. I am no longer concerned for the eggs, I simply want my girl to be ok! Any tips as to what I should do? Do I need to have the egg closest to the cloaca drained or should I palpate her until she lays?
Please Help! I will post pics shortly.

Something like this, I would be getting her to the vet. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to extract eggs from a female, I personally wouldn't mess with that though.
Good luck, I hope she pulls through okay.

I would take her to a vet. If an egg bursts or rots in the oviduct it will kill your snake. Those eggs probably need to be surgically removed.

The pics aren't great but you can clearly see the 4 bulges.

Definitely eggs...or slugs. Something though. I wouldn't waste time, I would get her to the vet. Her health is #1.
Good luck I really hope she ends up being okay.

I just got back from the Vet. She gave "Jill" a shot of Baytril and another shot of Oxytocin. In addition, she gave Jill a catheter with Saline and orally tubefed her Glucose and Calcium in a solution. She said she wanted to give Jill the night to lay her eggs naturally and if not then she would do sugery to cut them out. She wasn't familiar with the practice of draining eggs and asked me to send her some info on it. Can anyone help me with that, or is draining eggs not a good idea? I have only read about it in a couple books but never seen or done it.

I would think draining would be better than cutting her open.
Drain the one closest to the "exit" and see if she can pass it and the others naturally.
If she can, then she is ok, and you managed to save the last two eggs.

I have been attempting to palpate her for the past 20 min. I'm afraid to be too rough because I dont want the egg to burst inside her.
