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.

Leave her alone. Handling causes stress. More stress is not something she needs.
Are the eggs near the vent or are they still mid body? Were the first eggs fertile?
If she goes too long without passing them, you will either have to help her (if you are capable of doing so) or take her to a qualified vet.

eggs
the eggs are still mid body and it looks like 4 of the 5 are fertile. i only picked her up today to check if she still had eggs in her. ive never had to help with egg laying what would be involved in doing so? what is too long to wait for the eggs?

It's like squeezing tooth past out of the tube but with a living tube that could be hurt. If you've never done it then I'd suggest taking it to a vet to see how it is done. Being they are mid body would be another reason for the vet trip. If the eggs haven't shown any sign of movement over the next couple days then I'd get her to the vet.

Like David mentioned already, sometimes eggs can be gently "massaged" toward the vent but if these eggs are that far from the vent this could be very difficult. If you haven't seen any movement by morning I would make a vet appointment. If the vet is unable to manually manipulate the eggs, there are still other options such as egg aspiration, medications such as Oxytocin to stimulate contractions, and surgery as a last resort.
I hope she passes them on her own but don't wait too long if she doesn't.
Good luck,
Chris
