How long can a snake lay eggs before it gets dangerous for their healt.
The thing is a have two snakes both were supposed to be boys but now one of the “males” started laying eggs 3 days ago.
3 days ago I see two eggs by the water bowl, I noticed the day before that that she was nervous and all over the place.
So I fix a box with a lot of moist substrate that she could Digg in. And a day after the two first eggs se laid about 14 more, now I was sure se was done so I took her out gently and put her terrarium, when she goes into her cave I can se that there is at least 1 egg left? Should it take this long? What can I do?
I removed the bad eggs and tried my best with making a egg box

How far up is the 1 egg left? If it's up high, I would take her to the vet. She may need a calcium injection (oxytocin doesn't really do squat in reptiles) like my girl did. If it's right at the vent the vet may be able to gently expel it manually. If it's really low like that some people wait a little bit as the egg can sometimes come out when they next defecate. But the longer it stays there, the more chance for adhesions and strictures to form
