    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Please Help!!

I have a female corn who just dropped 6 slugs but it feels like shes eggbound with 2a in her. They are only about as big as a marble maybe a bit bigger. I can not see the eggs from the outside but can deel them if i gently press down on her. Shes still spending all her time in the lay box and is very defensive. Is it possible she has fertile eggs still developing? She was with my male s bit over a month ago. I dont want to have to get her surgery but will if i must. This my first time sttempting to breed so im just very concerned. Any ideas on what to do???
 
Toby, you need to post this in either the corn snake or veterinarian forums. This forum is for persons who are inquiring about a business or seller's reputation to get feedback or to post a recommendation or a bad experience. One of the mods. may move this, or you can p.m. one of them. I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you, I'm not a snake owner.
 
Mabe try soaking her in a warm water bath. Ive read that usually helps them pass and actually had an experience with a friends burmese that had trouble passing a few. It was about 3 days later and none of those eggs made it. So the eggs may not be viable but the female wont be in danger anymore. good luck
 
how long ago did she stop laying? Sometimes it takes time for them to all get out. A warm bath will be a good idea as long as she's not too stressed out. Honestly I'd recommend a vet visit simply because I lost a boa (live birth) that was slug bound because I waited too long to get her in and the dead tissues inside caused her to get septic. We did try soaking, manual palpitation and enema before it was to go to surgery so there are some options.

good luck!
