Hello,
 
I have a female Rhacodactylus auriculatus that has been egg bound for almost six weeks, and I am afraid that she is not going to make it.  I separated her from the male a few weeks ago in hopes that she would pass the eggs, but that has not helped.  She has plenty of suitable egg-laying sites and still accepts small amounts of baby food ( she stopped eating crickets a few weeks ago).  I liberally mist the cage every evening, slightly increased the ambient temperature in the enclosure, and I have given her many doses of Oxytocin and drops of Neocalglucon.  I am aware that egg bind ing is relatively common with this species, but there has to be something else I can do.  Any ideas?
