veiled not pooping after laying eggs

[VeiledOwner87]

title says most of it. it has been 5 days since she laid her eggs. she has been eating and drinking fine. but no urates or poop has been dropped. should i be worried? im going to give her a hydration shower tomorrow after work, i was going today, but i was doing a complete cleaning of my reptile/bedroom.

any advice or insight?

I have read up a bit and have found that a nice warm shower will do the trick. Try that first before you try anything else and keep us posted! Good luck!

same thing pretty said. i would try a 20 or 30 min shower first.
poor gal.... it seems like shes had a rough week.

Amy recently laid her first clutch and she didn't poop until the fifth day after laying.

Thats pretty normal for females who have recently laid or are about to lay soon. Give her a few days. If you have any horns or silks try feeding those. Both of those feeders are loaded with moisture so they should help loosen things up a bit. If you have horns those are a little better than silks for loosening a stool.

i have two horns waiting to be fed right now. i believe she ate one horn and two silks the other day. i forget what i fed her
