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.

Egg Bound Northern - Help
This year for the first time, I have a egg bound Northern, she has one egg left down by the end of body, she pushed out 7. It has been 2 weeks and I was hoping she would have pushed it out, there is a huge laying bin in her cage and I have soaked her in warm water but no luck. She is aggressively eating but I was wondering before I make the vet appointment if there is anything anyone else has done that has worked.
I have heard some say it will pass eventually and others say their snakes have died.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would make a vet apointment ASAP. I had a similar problem with my hognose, she had 2 eggs stuck. An oxytocin shot did not work. My vet anethitised her and pysically manipulated the eggs out.

i have had the same problem with a southern pine, you could try to push it out yourself but i wouldnt recommend it unless you had some experience with it, i also know that sometimes the oviduct can get twisted and this could cause even more problems. none the less you should take it to a vet, even though she is eating and seem for the most part in good health, you dont want infection to set in due to a rotting egg

One common cause of egg binding is stool blocking the passage of the eggs. (They aren't in the same place, but they both exit the cloaca...think of two cars moving side by side and the lanes merging into one). I do continue to feed gravid snakes, but stop when they turn opaque for their prelay shed.

Update
She had her Vet visit today, he decided on puncturing the egg and sucking out the yolk then gave an antiboitic just in case. Hopefully the egg will get smaller and she will pass it. He did not want to take the egg out so not to damage anything internal.
Thanks again for the replies..

Hopefully this is all better by now. I had a similar situation with a corn this year. She decided to keep 1 egg. I gave her a few days but no go. She wouldn't eat either. I took a syringe and poked through her skin into the egg and sucked the juice out until it was about 25% of it's original size. She passed it on her own a couple days later and started eating again. She's doing great now although I think she's about to lay again. I didn't want to double clutch her but apparently she has a mind of her own.
