Last year I had a butter female that had a very large first egg when laying. In the end after waiting I realized it needed to be aspirated. All went well, she laid the remainder and seems very healthy and unaffected this year. She was not a small female, but I wonder about breeding her this year.

Can you breed female after aspirating a large egg

I guess I would ask myself, is it worth risking her life? Do I have another female I could use instead, or could I buy a replacement? Are the progeny that important to me that I couldn't do a different breeding instead? Does my vet give the okay to try one more time?
Any snake can have a monster egg that gets stuck- I might give her _one_ more chance, if the vet okays it, if it's a breeding of particular importance. If I was breeding her just because she's my only female and for no other reason, I think I'd retire her.
