I have a beautiful big female queretaro king that was bred with an albino. She completed her pre laying shed 15 days ago and dropped one egg several days ago. I soaked her today and gently massaged her to get things moving. She has one large egg that is about an inch and a half from her vent. I felt 7 more eggs in a row. She is alert and seems fine but I am having a hard time waiting this out. I don't want to lose her, she is a sweetheart. Any advice on how long to wait for her to pass these naturally? I have a great vet,just don't want to jump the gun. Does anyone here have experience with Ruthven's? How long was the egglaying from the time of the prelaying shed? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Ann
