    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Nett,

I breed Eastern Indigos and specialize in them.
I have had the same egg binding occur with one of my smaller females about 3 yrs ago.
Dont take this the wrong way, but she may not have required surgical intervention at all. There is a drug called Oxytocin, which causes uterin contractions. When my female got egg bound we removed a lot  of the yolk(aspirated) from the side body cavity and adminsitered oxytocin over a 3 day period. She passed all the eggs out, albeight they were all much smaller from the removal of the yolk through a needle inserted mid body. Both I and Rick from Renegade Reptiles aspirated the eggs. The vet did also, but was only willing to aspirate two of them, as if that would make it easier for the female to push the eggs out by the front two neing smaller. We did them all, admisiterd the oxytocin and she  pushed them out in 2-3 days.  That same female reproduced THIS year and produced healthy and viable eggs. Next time, possibly explore other alternatives before surgical intervention. I foyu id,then please accept my humble apologies. Sorry to hear about this. How old and large was your female?

Yes we did try oxy. as well as aspirated 2 eggs but I belive the problem occured because of the 2 eggs that were fused together and one was almost twisted inside her.Surgery was the only way to go in this, if i wanted her alive .I have had alot of egg binding problems during the past 10 yrs on all sorts of different breeds and most times u can just drain the eggs but every now and then u have to go to surgery <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Would love to pick ur brain sometime about breeding these beauties <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
