Alrighty. So I was woken up at about 4 am by my girl, which I thought to be weird, so i checked on her and found her laying eggs. Over the course of about an hour, she laid 19 eggs and promptly began covering them up, so i assumed she was finished. Its worth noting that the last two eggs she laid were stuck together. I had her drink some water and she ate a few calcium dusted superworms. At this point i had to leave the house. When i returned home around 1 o'clock, I noticed she was trying to push more eggs out. So i kept an eye on her and she kept pushing for about an hour but nothing ever came out. suddenly she seemed to kind of give up and go to her basking spot. at this point I let her soak in a warm bath and fed her some calcium dusted crickets which she happily ate. Once she was dried off i put her back in her cage and she started trying to push the eggs out again. Its been about an hour or so of her trying and still nothing. I felt around on her belly and i do think theres a couple more in there. last time she laid 23 eggs, so i would expect possibly four more. i don't feel like she should be having trouble like this so I'm concerned that they're stuck in there and I've got an egg binding situation on my hands. How long should i give her to keep trying to get these things out on her own before seeing a vet? Any other advice?
