Veil Not Laying Eggs

[DecemberMoon]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this whole forum thing so just trying to get the hang of it right now. But I do have a conern that really bugs me. I have had my female veil for a little over a year and have only mated her once. She has laid three times since then. She is now due for another laying and has been for some time now, but she doesn't seem to want to lay. I am very worried about her becoming egg bound. I have not changed anything as to her setup for laying eggs but she doesn't seem to want to be bothered with it. She is very gravid right now and you can see the eggs in her. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Take her to the vet. The vet can give her a shot to help her lay......before she becomes eggbound.

Were the laid clutches fertile?
If she has run out of sperm, she may have gone back to the "infertile cycle".
Has she behaved at all like she needs to lay eggs (looking for a place to lay them, digging holes, going off food, increasing drinking, etc.)?

She has laid twice that were fertile and one that was not. This cluth will not be fertile. She is hanging out at the bottom of her cage and seems to be unsettled but she will not lay in the container that I have always used for her. I would love to take her to the vet but I can not seem to locate one in or around my area. No one wants to deal with exotics here. I am getting really nervous and scared with her. From past experience with my Veil, she normally lays about every 3 to 4 months. She is due for a laying and thats why I am really worried.

When you say she's hanging out at the bottom of the cage, does she just sit there or move around? Are her eyes open or shut?

What order where the clutches laid in? (Fertile, fertile, infertile...or what?) How many eggs were in each?

Can you post a picture of her please?
