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
