Egg Bound Ball Python

[dnangeldragon]

Even though she doesn't show it, I bet she's thankful you Inter-veined.

[17animallove]

so how many babies will she have just 2 right cuz there is only two eggs

[ssscalescom]

@17animallove They lay between 5-6 on average, but can lay as many as 10-12-13, but I've seen clutches with just 1-2 eggs, but most are 5-6-8 eggs.

i have a female right now that layed 4-eggs on may 27 th, that were all good so far, but she still has one in her , this will now be her 2nd day with the egg still in her , i soaked her for about a 1/2 hour in warm water and tried working it out, but i cant get it out, should i try harder, any help would be great thanks ps. she laid 8 eggs last year, just fine

@DetroitBalls It's impossible to tell what your snakes needs without being there. You don't want to push/force the eggs out as much as coerce/help them out.

How much do baby albino ball pythons cost?

and what web site? can i buy 1 :)

[ssscalescom]

Thanks, I plan on selling 2-3 boys and the price would be appx $350 shipped.

Definitely a great video to have on the web for educational purposes and for other breeders who may come across the same problem. And great job helping her out! Hope you post more videos!

[shanethebarroomhero]

i dont know if this was asked, but are u incubating them? and if so how are they looking?

[TheBeastWithinYou]

will a female shed if shes eggbound?

[ssscalescom]

I guess it depends on the female and situation. This female did go into shed while egg-bound at the very end.

[jokkwl88]

wow, did not think that the girl would be so calm

[ssscalescom]

She was great all through it. She's already ate her first small rat after the ordeal. I won't breed her this season, but will try again next season and hope for the best.

very good vid man hope this never happens to me

[davatoloco2013]

well all i can say is thanks because I was able to help my python out without needing to go to a vet for help.

[ssscalescom]

You're welcome, that's good to know this video helped others out. I've already received 2 emails from others saying the same thing. One had a cornsnake and the other a BP and were able to get the eggs out and all is well. Always glad to help..

[dmaricle32]

wow no wonder she was bound up those eggs were huge keep us posted in 52 more days. good luck

[dinomanj]

wow lucky it wasent a corn u would be popin a lot of those sukers out

[aikidophreak]

Nice job of getting those eggs out. Alot of people would not have know what to do. Those are big eggs evan by ball pyhton standards. glad she and the eggs are fine.

[nomalpythons]

very nice video goodluck wiht the clutch man

[ssscalescom]

Thanks guys, all is still well as of this morning. Both mom and eggs are looking good...

[DJSlurp1200]

Wow that's crazy... glad you were able to help he!

[shanethebarroomhero]

good informative vid... i just cut my eggs today, day 57!

[aktshady]

very nice i would be too afraid to do that to my snake

[SFLConstrictors]

Geery you are the man!! I wouldnt have the guts to pull that off. I know you had to be sweating bad.

I hope I never have to deal with that.

Goodluck with the clutch.

[ssscalescom]

If I didn't help her out, who knows what would happen. I may have lost her and the eggs. It wasn't too bad, just got to take your time. That 2min video was actually 15min of massaging those eggs out. She's doing great now and the eggs are incubating just fine. Some times you gotta do what you gotta do...

[SFLConstrictors]

Gerry you are the man! I wouldnt have the guts to do that Bro.lol

I hope to god I never have to deal with that.

Great stuff Gerry and goodluck on that clutch.

[TheSnakechick]

Thats great that you helped her out, hope she is doing good still, cant wait to see whats in the eggs.congrats

[Thiswarisours56212]

awesome

[ssscalescom]

Thanks, you can't crack the eggs as they are like leather at this period. Very pliable, but you do have to be gentle and careful.

[Thiswarisours56212]

cool

[BallPythonLuver]

Awesome! Glad to hear everything went well

[ssscalescom]

Thanks, I was a bit nervous, but after speaking with a friend of mine who went through it, I felt confident enough that I could pull it off. I'll follow up the vid with more footage when the eggs pip in 50-60 days. Thankfully all went well and I'll offer her a small rat in 2-3 days.
