Retained Eggs

chloe · 01-26-2007, 11:00 AM

Has any body got any advice?

My chequered garter produced infertile eggs at the end of last year but has still got a few retained, she is not eating and the eggs don't seem to be budging.

They generally pass on their own, if not...get her to a vet, that would be the best bet.

I'd second the opinion on going to a vet. Don't wait untill it's to late, I wouldn't take the risk.

As Don said, they normally pass on their own. Sometimes they don't. Then it can render your female infertile (at the least), but there's also a "worse-case scenario." If they haven't passed within about 2 weeks of the others, then I'd get her to the vet.

While you wait for the vet appointment, soak/swim her in 80 - 90 degree F water for a half hour.

Chloe, you never told us the outcome of your vet visit. What happened?
